More details to this question:
I am an illegal immigrant. My father is a US resident and wants to petition me to become one too. The problem is he is not on my Mexican birth certificate. Is there any way we can add him to my birth certificate here in the United States?

A late addition would still appear suspect. Use the USCIS DNA testing process instead.

To amend your birth certificate, you will need to contact the Mexican authority with jurisdiction over your birth records. Even if you were to amend you birth certificate, it is likely that USCIS will required both of you to get DNA testing to establish the parent-child relationship. If he wasn't married to your mother, he will also be required to prove that you were legitimized before your 18th birthday.
