I am on a relationship with my husband for 6 years, we recently got married and he applied for my Adjustment of Status (I485) in October 2013. Everything was going fine (actually going quite quick) until we had our I 485 interview canceled due to "unforeseen circumstances". Today we received a notice (ASC) for a biometrics appointment for my husband (the petitioner - US Citizen) because our case may be subject to review under the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. My husband is registered as Sex Offender TIER 1, which mean he does not offer any risk to the society. In 2008 he was set up and engaged internet conversation with a person who he believed to be a girl. That "girl" actually never existed (a local prosecutor officer posed as the girl) and he was arrested, then registered for probation for about 1 year and now every year he needs to register at the local police. In July 2013 we received a copy of letter from the prosecutor office to our local police stating that he is a tier 1 sex offender and our local police is prohibited by law from disseminating any information regarding his status as sex offender except to other law enforcement agencies in our state (New Jersey) or the United States, or any other state and his information cannot be released to the public.
Now my question is, does anybody here had any experience with Adjustment of Status and Adam Walsh Act? Could I be deported? I've been reading posts on the Internet but everything I found was sex offenders tier III (the high risk, the most dangerous people) petitioning "K" visas and their cases were denied. Today my husband works, his is getting his 2nd undergraduate degree in a State University, we are married but no children yet and in the process of buying our first home. Just as an additional info, I was aware of this problem but I was never involved. The court papers state that he was in a relationship with me but it is very clear that I have no involvement with this, so I was not charged.
If you had any experience about people in this situation, please let me know. We had no idea about this Adam Walsh Protection and Safety Act. We were aware of Megan's Law in the State of New Jersey but he never had any other problems because he register every year and since then is totally out of trouble.

I would appreciate if you could give me little hand with this matter ....

Thank you
