from non-immigrant visa to PR?
..is that possible?
For example, apply for PR when you're on a H1-B or one of the other
non-immigrant worker categories? If yes, how long do you have to wait until you
can apply for PR?

Yes, it is almost always possible, but there may be pitfalls depending on
which status you are changing from and what basis your GC is on.
The question is too general to answer reliably.

There is no required wait per se, but depending on circumstances, it may
be a good idea to wait a bit.

I've heard it's not possible for E-1s, but is possible for H1-Bs - is that
true?

true?

My understanding is that H1-B's are actually dual intent visas and so it's possible.
I think E-2 ( entepreneur) visa holders can apply to become PR's for instance if they meet the EB-5 criteria whist in the US. E-2 (employee) and E-1 holders can adjust too if they become eligible under another category and there are no contraindications. You cannot AOS on the basis of an E Visa though you have to qualify under another category.

It's clearly possible for H-1Bs. With E-1s, there indeed can be some
snags, but saying "impossible" is far from true.
