For those who have not realized this, our immigration system is very subjective. Our i601A was rejected because it failed to prove that my husband would suffer significant hardship. So I guess you're right anyone who doesn't apply for the waiver should remain "illegal" because it's such an easy, inexpensive, carefree process that causes absolutely no stress. My husband and I have tried to everything the right way, by the book, increase our chances, be responsible and in the end I paid close to $700 for someone to look at my app and say that my husband doesn't need me here and my absence is not a problem. So if anyone wants to tell me that USC spouses do not deserve or are in need of some relief from the EO the president will issue then I will gladly engage those people. But by all means if you have experience with the i601a and can relate then do so, otherwise any opinion on that subject is baseless. I have experience as a dreamer, a spouse of a USC, a child of a person who children have daca, a sister of someone who aged out, and as someone who parent failed to make any attempt to adjust the status of his children before he decided to pass away. So do I think spouses deserve some relief, hell yes I do.
Get advance parole, depart, return, and file for adjustment then. Options are out there, a waiver denial is not the end of the road. If you want to try the I-601A waiver again then get a lawyer who knows his shit, while most forms with immigration are DIY, the waivers (I-601, I-601A, I-212, and some others) are NOT. Here you need god damn phone books of evidence and a lawyer who knows what kind of stuff works. What you did was that you tried to beat the odds, submitted what you thought was good enough, it wasn't, so USCIS rejected it, you tried to cut corners and it didn't work.

Besides, my comment was directed at people who marry USCs (or have 245(i) protection, or are otherwise eligible to fix their status somehow) and then sit around scratching their asses without thinking to make use of the situation, you have those sleepwalkers that go through life like that until something happens and then they suddenly find out that they could well use papers and if they acted a little sooner everything would work out just great. They generally wake up once they lose their old licenses (from pre-REAL ID times, or Immigration finally catches them and they end up in removal proceedings, or their employers notice that their documents are fake, or ... you get the picture).
