EWI means Entry without inspection. If you entered unlawfully, that would apply to you.

An entry made illegally would be EWI - entry without inspection.

You entered without inspection, so put EWI or WI.

USCIS has stated a denial on a new deferred action petition cannot be appealed. This is not an easy question or an easy petition to file without an attorney. I encourage you to consult with an immigration attorney to assist you with your deferred action petition.
