Generally speaking your criminal background would Only be relevant if you had outstanding warrants. Please consult a lawyer before proceeding.

I agree with Ramsin, although certain convictions could make you inegible to petition your wife, those are act that fall under the Adam Walsh Act, and your convictions are not those type.

However, whenever filling an immigration petition is best to meet with an immigration attorney.

Best of luck,
