Yes, instead of the never admitted barrier you have to prove exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative but your accrual of time stopped a long time ago. Also read INA 240A(c)(6) and (d)(1).

1182(c) of this title, as such sections were in effect before
September 30, 1996.
(d) Special rules relating to
continuous residence or
physical presence
(1) Termination of continuous period
For purposes of this section,
any period of continuous residence
or continuous physical presence in the United States shall be deemed

cancellation of removal under subsection (b)(2) of this section,
when the alien is served a notice to appear under section 1229(a) of

to in section 1182(a)(2) of this title that renders the alien
