Generally, If you came here as a student you most can not stay here and get a green card in the U.S. if you are an adult. You would have to go back to your country and process when a visa becomes available. You would most likely have trouble getting a new visa after your Father sponsors you. There may be other options depending on how your father received his green card and how long ago a petition was submitted for him as well as when he submitted his green card application. Talk with an Immigration Attorney about the details of your case.
