F1 reinstatement denied - future implications?

I came to the US in 2005 on an A2 visa and finished high school here. Then I switched to F1 visa and started attending college. In 2007 I suffered conjectivitis and due to my swollen eye, I missed a few classes, and this was around the time that a lot of students drop out of classes. So my professor, not knowing that I am an international student, withdrew me due to attendance issues. This left me with less than 12 credits. After taking a long time, the USCIS has finally rejected my application saying I did not present sufficient evidence that I did indeed suffer a medical problem (I had no hospital forms, I took over the counter eye drops, which I could not prove now).

Anyway, since my reinstatement application is rejected, I plan to go home soon. I plan to finish my undergraduate education back home.

My question is: Will I be able to come back to the US for post graduate studies on an F1 visa? Will this unfortunate occurance affect the chances of the US embassy granting me a visa, especially considering that I'm from a Muslim country?

Also, is there any cut off date by which I must leave the US since my application was rejected?

I never intended to break the law...I should have informed my professor I was sick but because I felt lazy and didn't inform him, it cost me my education.
 
If you leave in a timely manner, you should be able to get a non-iimigrant visa again provided you overcome 214(b). I assume you are the child of a diplomat?

My father is in the military and came to the US in August 2005 as part of a Department of Defence course. My mom, my brother and I came to the US in Oct 2005. We were all on A2 visas.

My family left for home in May 2006, and I applied for change of status to F1. It was approved. Now on June 9th, 2008 my reinstatement application was denied, and the letter was mailed on June 11th, and I recieved it about a week later.

How much time do I have to leave?

Is the fact that my family left the US as required and now that I will leave as required going to help me in terms of 214(b) ?
