Legal Question in Immigration Law in Virginia

Several years ago my parents wanted to leave from ghana once they heard my younger sister had passed. They wanted to come to America with me. my parents took advise from those who eventually screwed them up. For some reason they were in a rush to leave and couldn't wait for for me to get a visa, so they used my late sisters passport (she was born in Italy, while i wasn't) to get a visa. Unfortunately, i had to fingerprint myself as my sister and i was a child and did not know what i was getting into. My parents have already filed for permanent residency with me. i want to be known as myself. The problem is that I'm a minor and i don't know what i can do. Is there anyway i can be helped? I know we broke the law but i don't want suffer for my parents being irresponsible. I also want to know if the DREAM ACT was passed could it help me. thank you

The DREAM Act didn't pass. The Senate will not vote on it this year.

The DREAM act has been "pending" for 9 years already.

This is more than "parents being irresponsible". You need to consult a lawyer in private and off of the public forum.
