"Form I-291 (a denial form including notification of the right of appeal) is used to notify an applicant of the denial of his or her application by the district director and of the required departure date , unless the decision is being certified to the Associate Commissioner, Examinations or expulsion proceedings would not be instituted (e.g., a parolee). This informs the applicant that if he or she fails to depart on time, expulsion proceedings may be instituted. The last sentence of the for, which states that the application for adjustment may be renewed during such proceedings is stricken when the applicant is ineligible for adjustment because of the provision of section 245(c) of the Act. If an application is denied after certification to the Associate Commissioner, Examinations, and the applicant's departure is being required , he or she is informed by letter which, when appropriate, advises of the right to renew the application in the course of expulsion proceedings. "

You have 30 days to file an appeal after you receive I-291
Most people get approved but then again most denied cases remain unheard of. Happy approved applicants like to let everyone know but don't be fooled..
People complains about the slowness of the INS.
Only to your eyes the INS looks slow and unefficient. Even with fair laws you can still discriminate againt people by making it unequally accessible to them. This way everyone blames the
bureaucracy.
The law ? as said a famous writer:
"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."
