You must first become a lawful permanent resident. There is no direct path from a nonimmigrant visa to citizenship. Your length of residence and current status do not give you a basis to seek lawful permanent residence. To become a lawful permanent resident, you would need to have a family member or employer file an immigrant visa petition on your behalf.
