Namastey, The fact of the matter is that you have overstayed the B2 visa and may be considered to have an unlawful presence in the United States, which will follow any route you take. Your best possible option herein would be to adjust your status, whether you marry a US Citizen or the F1 like you proposed and or a pending asylum application if you submitted one. If you decide to leave the United States to go to any country, you won't be able to apply for a new visa at any consulate. You will also be opening you the door to ten-year ban as well. If all your family members will become US Citizens or if any friends or relatives are, Adjusting your status under arrange marriage might be very beneficial. Please contact an attorney directly for your concerns.
Please keep in mind that not all lawyers are the same, therefore be very cautious as to which attorney or law firm you chose to work with.
