There are other options:
245(k) which pardons unlawful employment or being out of status for 180 days or less as of the date I-485 is filed, since last admission. For instance you can work unlawfully, leave and re-enter (e.g. on the same F-1 visa), and be eligible to adjust.

I-601A waiver.

My mom adjusted via 245i from my USC sister, she got an EAD in 3 months.

Just to clarify, if I only qualify for an EAD as a IR, how long is my wait time for residency approval?

I don't think I can get an employer to sponsor me.
Daughter/son 21+ USC sponsoring their parent is considered IR that is why she got her EAD fast. My USC mother sponsored me in June 2011 but I had to wait till October 2017 to file for AOS/EAD since I was 21+ (not IR).
