You may be eligible to receive your green card based on your status as an immediate relative of a US citizen.

However, if you have a prior deportation order, you would not be eligible and should not file any further paperwork before meeting with an immigration attorney. The fact you recevied an EAD does not mean that there is not a prior deportation order.

Did you file for permanent residency? Did you have an interview at a local office for your I-130 petition? You should contact an attorney who can help you determine where your green card (I-485) application is and what has happened to that petition, and how you can obtain your green card now.

Depends on many other circumstances, but it should not be a problem if the only issue your F-1 visa that you did not attend school.

You sgould consult an attorney to find out exactly where you stand.
