More details to this question:
Hello. This November I've been on J-1 Congress program with 2 HRR. Now I came back to visit my boyfriend who studies in the USA (F-1visa) with my B-2 visa (that had prior to getting J-1). Am I allowed after coming back home to apply for F-2 visa and come back again?

You would first need to marry. You could not qualify for an F-2 visa unless married to the F-1 status holder. Once married, you could apply for an F-2 visa but you will eventually either need to complete the home resident requirement or seek a waiver.
