INA section 245(c) lists the categories of people who would be ineligible to adjust status but for section 245(i). These groups of people will be ineligible to adjust if section 245(i) is not renewed. These categories include:

People who entered without inspection (EWIs);
People who work without authorization (except "immediate relatives" of United States citizens, INA section 201(b));
People not in lawful immigration status when they file for adjustment; and
People who did not maintain a lawful status continuously since their entry.

It sounds as if your friend falls under the 2nd category.
