What is the next step once denied for an 0-1 Visa.
In attempt to progress from my original Visa -(B1/B2) to an O-1 Visa I was dismissed twice. My first attempt did not succeed and I have already filed an appeal which reached the AAO whom also dismissed my case.. (two days prior to today 12/9). What are my options as I have begun my life here and plan to marry within the next year and half. Must I leave? Or go out of status to reapply? Should I leave to then try and re-enter through a different embassy eg Canada? How long do I have before my status becomes illegal? Please help.
