The petition can be valid even if you are illegal. Those are two completely different things - although you had better go home now because an illegal overstay can make you inadmissible, meaning that even if you're entitled to a visa, you can't have one to go to the US.
If you are still unmarried, you are an F2:

Right now we are processing F2s from 1999. If you mother petitions, you will be an F1, which is now 1997:

Never gonna happen. I'm pretty sure that your tourist visa has expired which makes you illegal. The petition is pretty much dead in the water.
Depending on country on origin since you were petitioned before 21 it takes about 10 - 15 years.
Also if your dad has been a perm resident for 38 yrs why didn't he get citizenship already?
