I suggest you consult a good immigration lawyer before filing or even hire an attorney to submit applications on your behalf. Yes, there have been denials. There is no appeal for a VW applicant. At the same time, under certain circumstances, a person who entered on a Visa Waiver can be approved for adjustment of status.

As to waiting for "better times", it looks like we are not going to see Immigration Reform in the next few years.
