The flights I'm currently thinking of flying with - Singapore Airlines, Garuda, Qantas, ANA.
Singapore Airlines (SQ) and All Nippon Airways / ANA (NH) are both members of Star Alliance (*A), so you will not be able to status match directly from United Airlines (UA) to SQ or NH.
Garuda Indonesia (GA) is in SkyTeam (ST); Qantas (QF) is in
oneworld (OW).
In Post # 1968,
supra, from 4½ years ago, the list of 8 airlines which GA will match does not include UA.
A logical choice would seem to be QF. In Post # 422,
supra, from 10½ years ago, it states that QF did not do status matches. I would check the Qantas FlyerTalk forum to see if there have been any changes since then and whether QF currently has status match offers. (Searching this thread for "Qantas" indicates a lot of folk trying to match
out of QF.)
Sorry.
