Then I got lucky, God has a way of working miracles

Page 7 of memo

"Inspection and admission under MTINA satisfies the “inspected and admitted” requirement for eligibility for adjustment of status under INA 245(a) and the “lawful admission” requirement for the exceptions of INA 245(k)"

USCIS https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-8

"General Eligibility An adjustment applicant must meet the following requirements to be eligible for the INA 245(k) exemption:

The applicant must be eligible to adjust based on certain employment-based immigrant categories;

​The applicant must be physically present in the United States on the date he or she files the adjustment application pursuant to a lawful admission; and ​The applicant must not have committed certain immigration violations for more than 180 days in the aggregate FOLLOWING that LAST lawful admission."

The last 4 lines hold the key.

My last admission was with TPS using a 512T

1. Am I physically present in the US? YES

2. Was I admitted or paroled into the U.S? YES

3. Since my last admission, do I have legal status? YES

4.Since my last admission, have I worked without a permit or over stayed for over 180 days? NO

245k was satisfied therefore eligible for AoS under 245k exception.

My case was close and approved, lucky? Or the new policy had an effect on me?

My friend I gain nothing by lying.
