Assuming that you are no longer enrolled in school, you are accruing unlawful presence for being present in the US past your allowed time. If your authorized stay is D/S, your unlawful presence will begin up on a finding by and immigration judge or CIS. In any event you do not qualify for any non-immigrant visa or non-family permanent petition. Also, this will hinder you from obtaining any other non-immigrant visa without having a waiver granted.

You are currently out of status in the US. You should look for a way to apply for permanent residence as you will not qualify for any nonimmigrant visa classification due to your long-term overstay.
