Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. What do you mean when you say you are a "legal alien"? Who was the victim of the felony and what was the relationship between the victim and your future spouse? I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

If your spouse is a US citizen she may file petition for you unless she committed certain sex crimes involving minor child.

If the USA citizen is a felon, that is generally no problem and no bar to filing.
