Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

Entering US with false passport.

Hi, I entered the US on an H4 visa 10 yrs ago to join my husband who was on H1B visa.

I was a student from Africa in the UK and had previously applied for a US visa, and was denied on the grounds of not having strong ties to US.

I was pregnant when my husband moved to the US. Long story short, I obtained a UK passport in the name of a dead person (using her birth certificate). Passport is genuine from UK authorities, but it is not mine. I used this to obtain a green card & employment. I attempted to renew the passport with the UK authorities (stupidly I know :)). They found out about the dead person and denied the renewal. They also said in the letter that they MAY inform the US authorities.

I have began my US citizenship application and due to go for finger printing in less than 2 weeks.

I have 3 children - all born in the US. My husband has his green card and began his citizenship application.

Que 1: Should i go for the finger printing appointment?

Que2: Can I be helped? Help meaning get to stay here with my husband and children?

Que 3: Can anyone help me?
