Getting to the US and staying there legally?

Hi everyone, so basically I (25M) have a F1 Visa that's about to expire on May 31st, dual citizenship (Ecuador and Chile), and a B1 visa. My wife (25F) is a born&raised US citizen.

We got married in Ecuador and we are ready to start the IR1 petition for me to get a greencard. However, I'm quite unsure if we can still proceed or not since Donald Trump mentioned greencards were on hold.

Due covid and Ecuador's economical crisis, my MIL offered a place for us to live in the US for free.

Now, what is the best way for us to move to the US and work legally there?

  1. Start the petition for my greencard and wait 1-2 years in Ecuador?
  2. Enroll to an online college master's to extend my F1 Visa and live at my MIL house?

Please, any help or comment is highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance
