You're going to have to give more information. Like, in what status did you guys enter the U.S.; what did your father apply for; how did he get his green card; why did you not get a green card together with him; what exactly was "stolen"; was a green card ever applied for you that you know of; etc.

If you have not been in lawful status, leaving the country now would probably subject you to a 10-year ban, so I would not do that until you really understand what is going on and what the options are.
