"'If your I-765 is denied, the duration of your legal F-1 status reverts to being defined as the lasting through the I-20 end date plus 60 days grace period

If you are still within the grace period, you may stay in the U.S. for the remainder of the 60 days
If the grace period has already elapsed, you should depart the U.S. without delay

The chances for successfully appealing an I-765 denial are low. If you believe you were denied in error, contact an International Center advisor or private immigration attorney at once.""

Leave and return on the H4 visa. They are coming down very heavily on chain studying just to continue in the USA.

With a denial, suggest leaving the US asap. You cannot change status if you're not in status. Exit the US, and if you wish to return, apply for an appropriate visa at a US consulate overseas to join a US-based spouse.
