                otherwise qualified under that paragraph.
                    (B) Separate motion not required.--An alien 
                described in subparagraph (A) may not be required, as a 
                condition of submitting or granting such application, 
                to file a separate motion to reopen, reconsider, or 
                vacate the order described in subparagraph (A).

                final decision to deny the application, the order shall

                of status under subsection (a) to engage in employment 
                in the United States during the pendency of such
