“Section 245 [ 8 U.S.C. § 1255 ] contains certain objective prerequisites which must be met before the relief afforded by that section is available. Once these conditions are satisfied, then the alien has the burden of persuading the Attorney General to exercise his discretion favorably. Tibke v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, 335 F.2d 42 (2nd Cir.1964). Simply because an alien fulfills the preliminary requirements, does not mean that he will automatically be accorded adjustment of status. Because this form of relief circumvents ordinary immigration procedures, it is extraordinary and will be granted only in meritorious cases, and the burden is on the immigrant to prove that his case is meritorious. Santos v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, 375 F.2d 262 (9th Cir.1967).”
