Generally speaking if you made the false claim for entry to the US, then there is a permanent bar to your permanent residence. If the false claim was made prior to October 1996, based on the exact facts of the entry, what was said and what was presented then there may be a waiver.
What is the basis for your permanent residence, marriage to a US citizen?
Find a very experienced immigration attorney. Do not limit your search to your city, go nationwide. There are attorneys that have in depth knowledge as to the non-applicability IRAIRA.

Need to know where you entered, what you told the inspections officer and what documents (if any) were presented. Also important is whether any other claim to citizenship was made after 10/1996 to any agency for any benefit, not just for an immigration benefit.
Will also need to know if there are any hardship to your wife or other qualifying USC relatives. Medical condition, financial, emotional/mental. This would be developed later by a psychiatrist or psychologist. The assessment is important as the officer generally will defer the determination of extreme hardship to a professional. Do not do your own affidavits. Find an excellent attorney.

Doesn't sound like you will qualify for relief. You should get this information and consult with an attorney to confirm. Good luck, sorry I couldn't give you better news.
