Elves and the halls of Mandos

Why wasn't Finwe allowed to return? He did nothing wrong. I say this because at the end of The Silmarilion Finarfin was still High King of the Noldor.

Finrod was allowed to return so why not someone like Fingolfin?

When they die and come back do they lose their status? This doesn't make sense to me.

Feanor is the only one specificaly mentioned to still be in the Halls of Mandos.

Do any of the HOME books expand on Mandos and the Elves?
