An individual who has a pending or approved petition for special immigrant juvenile status under such section may file one motion under this clause notwithstanding any numerical limitation that might otherwise apply. The filing of a motion to reopen under this clause shall stay the removal of an individual with a pending or approved petition for special immigrant juvenile status pending the final disposition of the motion, including exhaustion of all appeals. An immigration judge or the Board of Immigration Appeals may hold such a motion in abeyance, or grant such a motion, as appropriate, so that the individual may wait for an available visa..
