I would IMMEDIATELY seek professional help from a qualified immigration attorney. If all the facts are as you said, I would also IMMEDIATELY contact the US Representative from your area and seek their help. If necessary, go with your spouse and children. I know that many people on DU are anti-religious, but many religious denominations have immigration or citizenship commitees or agencies that they work with that can also help you out of this mess. It took my grandfather 42 years -- yes 42 years -- to become an American citizens and this was after he married and had two grown sons in the US Military serving their country. The country he was born in no longer existed and he had no papers. Just be totally honest and keep trying. God Bless You.
