 Hi, So I came to US legally, with a visa. When the time came I did not leave when it expired. Now I am married with a us Citizen and I have a child on the way. I was wondering what forms I needed to be able to process my Citizenship, I currently have I-485. I-601, and I-130. Any help would be appricated.

You have to apply for a Green card before you can become a citizen.  Here is the guide you need:

You currently are not eligible for citizenship but you can apply for a Green Card. I-130 and I-864 are filled-out by the US citizen, and the rest of the forms by you. In general, send the following four packets (*note that I-765 and I-131 packets are optional, but highly recommended) in the same envelope to the Chicago Lockbox:

• I-130 with I-130A and copy of marriage certificate, filing fees, etc.;
• I-485 with I-864 and supporting documents, electronic I-94 copy, filing fees, etc.;
• I-765 with electronic I-94 copy, etc.; and
• I-131 with electronic I-94 copy, etc.

You'll separate each packet with rubber bands or fasteners: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/form-filing-tips

On the I-130 packet, I-130 payment method (check, money order, or Form G-1450) must be the very first item of this packet.

On the I-485 packet, I-485 payment method (check, money order, or Form G-1450) must be the very first item of this packet.

I-601

With which visa type did you enter the US? For overstay you don't need that form since you are a spouse of US citizen: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-8

Immediate Relatives

Certain adjustment bars do not apply to an immediate relative, including the spouse or child (unmarried and under 21 years old) of a U.S. citizen, and the parent of a U.S. citizen older than 21. ^[2] 

 

An adjustment applicant applying as an immediate relative may be eligible to adjust status even if: 

• The applicant is now employed or has ever been employed in the United States without authorization;

• The applicant is not in lawful immigration status on the date he or she files the adjustment application;

• The applicant has ever failed to continuously maintain a lawful status since entry into the United States;

• The applicant was last admitted to Guam or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) as a visitor under the Guam or CNMI Visa Waiver Program and is not a Canadian citizen;

• The applicant was last admitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant visitor without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program; or

• The applicant has ever violated the terms of his or her nonimmigrant status.
