If you do not win your initial case before an immigration judge, do not worry as you will usually have two more chances to win your case.
The first chance is with the Board of Immigration Appeals in Falls Church, Virginia.
After the immigration judge issues an order removing you from the United States to your home country, this decision isn't "final, " meaning that ICE will not be able to deport you back to your home country so long as you make sure to reserve the right to appeal the decision.
If you tell the immigration judge that you wish to appeal her decision, you will have 30 calendar days in which to file a Notice of Appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Individuals who live abroad have two primary means of immigrating to the United States: family based immigration and employment based immigration.
In order to immigrate through a family member, one must have a qualifying relationship with a U.S. citizen or permanent resident parent, spouse, child, or sibling.
Parents of U.S. citizens, spouses of U.S. citizens and children of U.S. citizens under 21 are considered immediate relatives and may immigrate immediately into the United States.
Adult children of U.S. citizens, spouses and unmarried children of permanent residents and siblings of U.S. citizens are considered preference relatives but must wait in line until their turn.

There are more ways to come to the United States as a non-immigrant (temporary stay) than there are letters in the alphabet.
However, even if you potentially qualify under one of these categories, you still have to prove non-immigrant intent; meaning that when you interview at the closest U.S. consulate or when you approach a Customs and Border Patrol Officer at the port of entry, you have to prove to them that you ultimately have the intent to return to your country of origin after your stay in the United States is over.
