people who are not eigible to adjust under 245(a) to adjust their status in the US. It is less powerful than 245(i) and is available all the time (no sunset date). This provision is actually the potential ground for one of topic you and 兔子 discussed a few days ago about filing another 485 if the current is denied without leaving the US. INS does not have a regulation on this provision even after many years of enaction partially it may offer too much benefit to the eligibility of 485 applicants.
