We know for sure that he lives in the same state as we are, he lives around 1 hour away from us, we just don't know exactly in which small town. My husband contacted his mother but she doesn't seem to be willing share the address with us, she never liked my husband being to involved with their son's life :(

USCIS never contacted any of my kids, and your stepson should be of no interest to the USCIS as he is already a US citizen and over 18 years of age. No child support issues here. So all you can give is an approximate address and explain the ex problems your husband is having.

We even screwed up on that section only listing my wifes" kids, but caught that before her interview and listed all eight of them on a corrected form. It wasn't an issue with them, wife also explained we screwed up on her I-751 by only listing her eligible daughter on that form, again, it was not an issue with them.

But we can only relate our experience. Everyone here seems to be understanding, USCIS should be the same way.

Thank you for all your help and also I just also realized that we didn't put my stepson in I-751 form, back then I was under impression that we should put biological children coming from marriage. would that affect anything?

As I mentioned , we screwed up on the I-751 as well, wife pointed that out and an issue was not made about it. Our thoughts were just on dealing with the kids that were affected by immigration and no longer legal dependents.

This stepdad relationship is weird, lets say as a minor, my stepkid stole a car and did a lot of damage with it, I wouldn't be liable for that, but my wife would, but since she is my wife, would be liable for her debts. On the other hand, if we got divorced, I would not be liable for any child support payments to that stepkid. Or if anything happened to me, that kid wouldn't get any benefits from my death. But once that kid turns 18, only the kid is liable for what they do, parents are finally free of that responsibility.

So if that kid is naughty and as a minor, a step parent is fully responsible, but if anything happens to that step parent, kid is screwed. Also had the burden of that I-864 with her and turning 18 didn't make any difference. But her getting her US citizenship finally freed me of that. Could be a problem if she was hit by a hit and run driver and kicked off my health insurance plan because she has a precondition. Our laws are designed to screw the parents in cases like this.
