Yes you can file I485 now. Print the favorable recommendation notice from the DOS web page along with copy/copies fom all DS you ever had. If you want to wait ~3 weeks till you receive the letter from DOS, this will work too. If you want to wait ~6 months to receive the final waiver this is up...

You can extend your J toward the maximum time allowed under that J. For example if the maximum time allowed is 5 years, then you can request extension for 1 year if you already spent 4 years on that J and so on.

If you switch to J1 from H4, then forget the H visa alltogether do not extend or do anything with it. Now you will start the J visa with its requirement (2 year country for example).

No you can not. All rules applicable to J1 is applied to J2 (2 year home country, termination of J1 is termination of J2, applying for another J (1 or 2) is after the 2 year home country and so on.

If the J1 sponsor worked even for 100 years in home country will not drop the 2 year requirement for the J2 dependents. If your J 2 visa require 2 year home country, you still need either the waiver or to go home country for 2 years. Neither marriage nor getting F visa will fix the issue. The...

Yes, this is a default letter will be send to every one. Practically, you can not do any thing. The other thing you have to know is that if you receive RFE the clock will stop and start the count from day 1 again when they receive your respose.

Your next step is to apply for I485 if priority date is current which I think so for DV lottery. Post this under lottery section and you could find more help.
