Hello! It is a long process with many steps, which begins with filing an I-130 petition with USCIS. You can find instructions online about what you need to file the petition, or you can reach out to an immigration attorney for help.

Generally, someone who is admitted as DT can file a form I-765 under (c)(11) as soon as they are admitted. However, if it is granted, it will only be valid for as long as the status is valid.

It really depends on your circumstances. In general, you would need to file another application in order to remain in the U.S. lawfully and work. You should meet with an immigration lawyer to see if you are eligible to apply for anything.
