Asked and answered already!  Sorry you don't want to hear bad news, but it is really poor planning on your part to schedule your wedding to a convicted criminal in a foreign country.  No convicted criminals!  It is a waste of your time and money to apply for visas when you already know they do not qualify.  You are not coming to the US, so make other arrangements at home for your wedding.
