a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR) convicted of a specified offense against a minor under the Adam Walsh Act is generally prohibited from sponsoring any family member (spouse, child, fiancé) for a Green Card. The petition (I-130) will almost certainly be denied unless the petitioner proves they pose "no risk" to the beneficiary.

I will say it’s 1% chance right now to works.

hi, how long has it been for you?

you would need to apply for a waiver. it has been done but you need a very experienced attorney.

do you have the same experience? and can you recommend a well experienced attorney regarding AWA?

I've got one of those cases going through now. Filed June 25. had a NOID in September. Gathered lots of evidence and replied in November. Still waiting for an outcome. just got EAD and AP 9 months after filing.
We have a lawyer in NY, very expensive. I think going with a lawyer who has had positive experiences with these cases would be good. We had to get psychologist evaluation which cost money too
