You will want to consult with an immigration attorney prior to the marriage, and have the full criminal record and complete immigration history in hand. Depending upon the charges marriage may not impact the ability to stay in the US.

Assuming you are the immigrant, no, the crime itself has no affect on you. The fact you don't live together could have some affect on the ability to get the case approved.
