Yeah, ~6% have been given waivers [1] for unknown reasons. There is no official waiver process, and no form for one. They are awarded at the full discretion of USCIS after applying for residency, according to unknown criteria. When I called my embassy about this, they said my only option was to apply and spend years waiting and hope to get lucky. So I could apply, spend thousands of dollars, wait years, and only have a 1/20 chance of being awarded a waiver.
