Please, please, please go and speak with an immigration attorney asap. The expired visa is an issue and canindeed cause you to be deported.  The company that you are working for should also be aware that it cn be a problem for them.  Now that you are married - I am assuming to an american citizen - you have that going for you but you went about it backwards.  Please get help.  Good luck.
