oh dude ... there is thousands of russians ,israelis ,nigerians etc who come over and do the same thing as you did on the grand scale and steal millions of dollars and then just leave the us to retire on french riviera with tons of money and you are sweating for ONE ACCOUNT OF ID FRAUD ??? pathetic ...
When you filled out your I-485 how did you answer this question? Have you EVER Knowingly committed any crime of moral turpitude or a drug-related offense for which you have not been arrested? If you answered NO. You are up S#$T creek without a paddle. You are most likely looking at your green card being denied since you have an on going case. If you lied on that I-485 form I would HIGHLY suggest speaking to an Immigration attorney ASAP.

lol but OP does not have a yacht waiting for him in the mediterranean that's the problem. All those other people weren't applying for AOS either.

You have to tell them about it if they ask. My question to you is did you file your AOS before or AFTER being involved in this particular scheme? If you didn't then my opinion is to tell them ASAP in the interview. They tape record the interview I've heard and in fact might even video record it. Trust me you will not be able to hide this from them even if their background check is missing the info as of now, you have to come clean unless you want to risk openly lying whilst being recorded in the interview.
Now they may deny the AOS but you can still appeal and whilst you are appealing you get an EAD and permission to stay. I think you need to prepare yourself psychologically and financially for a long battle. But it's winnable, you need to talk to a decent attorney who has the proper attitude to win this case.
edit: my guess is you filed the AOS long after 2007 so scratch that question and train of thought. Still, what z28eater asked is very relevent so most of what I opined still applies.
