Legal Question in Immigration Law in Tennessee

You cannot finish that cycle, as you put it.

Form I-90 is inapplicable to someone who is not a permanent resident.

To file I-765, there must be a pending application for adjustment of status or other eligibility for a work permit.

If your application for adjustment of status was indeed lost twice (!), which is highly unusual, and you have never become a lawful permanent resident based on your marriage to a USA citizen wife, now, after divorce, it's too late.

Since you are no longer married to a USA citizen, you can't reapply for adjustment of status (if the old application was "lost"), and can't request an adjudication of a pending application, assuming that an application is still pending since 1990s.

What happened in or after 2004, did you apply to renew your work permit after 2004?

It seems that you might need to find a new legal ground of applying for adjustment of status (green card) if, indeed, you were not apploved for permanent residency yet. You can't apply through your minor children or ex-wife.
