There is no legalization program at this time that you qualify under. If you are unmarried, you may be able to adjust status to permanent residence through a bona fide marriage with a US citizen. Marriage to a  permanent resident would take a longer period of time and most likely necessitate your leaving the US for you to finish your process. Prior to that time, you would have to obtain an I-601A waiver of the 10 year bar for being illegal in the US for a year or more. That waiver would likely be based upon extreme hardship to your permanent resident spouse if the waiver was not approved. For other situations, you should make an appointment with an immigration lawyer.
