If an employment-based I-485 applicant is otherwise eligible, can USCIS still deny adjustment as a discretionary matter? What kinds of facts might matter under the new memo discussion?

Cases with status gaps or other negative factors should be reviewed carefully with counsel.

Adjustment of status has always had a discretionary component, but the concern is whether officers will weigh it more heavily now.
