245i is more or less stand alone. The key qualifier is the filing of the I-130. If it was prior to May 2001, you have a shot. Otherwise, it's a lost cause.
The moment you capitulate to lawlessness you've lost your civility.

All css/lulac applicant applied by filing form I-687 or I-485 without form I-130 in case the css/lulac application denied is the applicant in covered through 245i in case he want to apply through other avenue.
the filing of a css/lulac does not qualify you for 245i. Only an immigrant visa petition (I-130 or I-140) or a labor certification would generally allow you to adjust status based on 245i.
