You can either withdraw the petition and then refile or you can appeal the decision. However, I would withdraw and reapply. The appeal would be very risky. But is is not a big deal to withdraw and reapply, excpet for the increased fees, of course.
Basically and unless you are a H, L, K3.4 or V2-3 visa holder, you are considered abandoning your petition. The appeal may be for reasonable cause, but meeting the family is generally not one of them."Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." John Adams on Defense of the boston Massacre

Most likely you are indeed "out of status" (depending when you made a trip and what a new I-94 said). However, you entered through POE and are married to USC - which should be enough to be able to adjust status by filing a new I-485. (for a piece of mind, you may want to consult a lawyer). Once you file I-485 your stay will be "authorised".
I assume your J visa expired after you returned from a trip.
In some cases, a person files for AOS but may keep current status (student, H-visa holders) and that does not effect AOS.
How did IO find out about the trip?
