your only options for the most part are going to be:

1) Education visa

2) Elite Visa (expensive)

3) Get a job and a non-B visa

the phony ED visas haven't been available for months now because immigration made a bunch of staffing changes. You pretty much have to attend class and show progress if you want an ED now.

The ed visa with agent will be available again in June or July. And no, they are not fake, it's real stamp from real officer. Getting a bribe does not mean that the stamp are fake.
