Most likely, the answer is no. If you are not protected under sec. 245i and are out of status, you are not eligible for adjustment of status.

Because you have already been out of status for a very long time and have a priority date, you will have to wait for the interview to discuss your situation with the immigration service.

USCIS will also want to know how you have been supporting yourselve if the petitioner has died.

They will also want to know if you working and paying taxes.
