How do I get papers to become an American citizen?

If any of your children are aged 21, they could perhaps sponsor you for permanent residence. Other than that, there is too little in your fact situation to give an opinion as to whether you be able to receive your immigration papers in the future. I suggest that you should consult with an immigration lawyer to go over your options.
