Answer 1

I think you need to call the immigration dept and speak to someone there. Immigration is difficult at these times as it is becoming politically correct to oppose immigration and close our borders.

Answer 2

If you can adjust status to LPR before the six months is up, then by all means do it. But watch out about overstaying without a legal extension. If you stay out of status for more than 180 days, there is an automatic bar to re-entry of five years which will also affect your ability to adjust.
