Mojgan,

You may want to take a look at some of the literature on non-linear IV estimation (although to be more precise, it usually applies to the endogenous regressor--->outcome relation, not IV--->endogenous regressor):

Lochner, L., & Moretti, E. (May 2011). Estimating and Testing Non-Linear Models Using Instrumental Variables. NBER Working Paper No. 17039.  http://emlab.berkeley.edu/~moretti/nonlinearities.pdf

Mogstad, M., & Wiswall, M. (September 2010). Linearity in Instrumental Variables Estimation: Problems and Solutions. IZA DP No. 5216Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit.http://ftp.iza.org/dp5216.pdf

Newey, W.K. (1990). Efficient Instrumental Variables Estimation of Nonlinear Models. Econometrica, 58(4), 809-837. 

Hu, Y. (2008). Identification and estimation of nonlinear models with misclassification error using instrumental variables: A general solution. Journal of Econometrics, 144(1), 27-61.

Others may be able to give more methodological and Stata-specific advice.
