I encourage you to make an appointment with a competent immigration attorney to fully discuss your own personal immigration history and to ensure that there are no issues like fraud for example, in your father's case that could impact you. As a general matter, as long as your father is an LPR, he is able to sponsor you and his own situation does not impact the adjudication of your case.

No. His immigration history is unlikely to affect your petition in this situation.
