More details to this question:
Me and my boyfriend are engaged and will be getting married soon, i came to the US when i was 8 years old with a Tourist Visa, and i applied for DACA so i am able to work legally. However, my permit to be here expired years ago. Will that be a problem? Do i need to take additional steps since i over stayed or how would that work? thank you!

You may start the process immediately after marriage. Is your boyfriend a U.S. citizen? If yes, you will not need to take any additional steps because you overstayed. Your prior overstay will be effectively forgiven. If, however, your spouse is not a citizen, additional steps will be needed.
