More details to this question:
I have recently became the spouse of the U.S. citizen and wanted to file i-485 form to adjust my status. Previously, I was on F-1 student visa that has recently expired. Would my student visa expiration cause any difficulties when approving my i-485 form? Do i need to submit any additional forms in addition to i-864 and i-130?

Marriage to a U. S. citizen excuses an overstay in the United States. I do not see it causing any difficulties in your immigration case. In addition to the I-130, I-485 and I-864 forms, you will both have to submit G-325A biographic data sheets. If you wish employment authorization or advance parole privileges during the time that the case is pending, you would file forms I-765 and I-131.
