As soon as you turn 18 year old, you start accruing unlawful presence. If you accumulate over 180 days of unlawful presence, you will be barred from reentering the U.S. for 3 years if you leave. If you accumulate 1 year or more of unlawful presence, you will be barred from reentering for 1 year. You and your father should consult with an immigration attorney before proceeding. Please feel free to contact me for a consultation as I work with individuals across the country.
