It's not very likely. You need to consult an immigration attorney, specifically to see whether the conviction is an aggravated felony and whether a foreign national is deportable and/or inadmissible to USA.

Please keep in mind that marriage is not a solution to all immigration problems. Sometimes a person married to a US citizen can't remain in USA either for some years or even permanently.
