Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

N-600 Immigration law

I am an immigrant from Dominican,Republic i came to this country when i was 12 yrs old in 1992. My father was the one who brought me here my parents where never married my father is only registered as my father in my birth certificate. he became a citizen in 1996 when i was 16 and my sister and i could not become automatically citizen because of some law that was not appliable at that time. now i am in the middle of being deported for a minor felony and i wanted to know if i could automatically be a U.S.Citizen?. I was told that my father needed a custody of me. but at the time when my parents where doing my immigration papers, INS did not ask them for that their is a document called ''the power'' in spanish ''el poder'' and it basically says that my mother gives permission for my father to bring me to the U.S.A. i went to junior high, high school, job corp, and i worked here and i am also married. How can i appeal this case or what can i do to prove that my father was my guardian in the USA? my mother is now living here and i don't have no family members over in Dom, Rep. i would like to stay here. Can any one give me advices please. thank you for your time...
