Dont know what to do... Plz help!

I was brought to the USA when I was 7yrs old. However, the name on the visa is not my real birth name. My aunt faked a birth certificate and school records with the made up name and said to be my mother. After she got accepted and gotten my visa, she brought me to my parents in the USA. The visa expired 3yrs ago and i never used the documents or name for anything. I been living in the USA and using my real birth name( not the name from the visa and passport ) for everything including school and medical stuff. Now an adult, I got married to a USA Citizen. We want to adjust status( green card, ssn, ect...) but we dont know how. We been meeting with lawyers but we have gotten so many DIFFERENT answers, we dont know who to believe. One said, it can be done and that can change my name and others says that is fraud, what everyone else did and that i have to go back to my home country and petition something? please help! whats the best way? can it be fixed?

If that passport has your picture and the passport or the visa was not forged than in my opinion you entered under an assumed name and that can be treated as your alias because at one time you did used that name, yours or not but it was used by you, you can put that name in the section of other names used in the USCIS forms and explain it on the interview.

yes, it has my picture and my finger prints =/. Even though i used it, it wasnt my choice. The attorney told me that i cant write it on the forms since its a fraudulent document because I dont have a real birth certificate with that name, only my real one. And the I-94 its missing with the other name so... basically, I cant use that name. However, the other lawyer said he can change it and try to explain it on some papers but its not guaranteed that they will accept my petition and get deported. I really dont know what to do or whats the best way to do it? Its so confusing.

People have aliases in this country with no Birth Certificate to back it up, I use a American name as a nick name, I dont have a BC or a ID to back that up, I have always disclosed that name on all of my immigration forms under other names used, so am I committing fraud? I dont think so. Besides you were just 7 years old you didnt do it somebody else did.
Beside all of the above if you dont have a I-94 then there is no sense even talking about it, does that passport has a US immigration entry stamp?
