Contact the court in the Connecticut town where you were issued the ticket and if you don't remember then contact NJMVC and they should tell you but if they don't know then your last stop would be CT Motor Vehicle. Good luck!

Yes you are absolutely at risk and you should get a criminal defense attorney for the criminal case and an immigration lawyer for the immigration consequences to guide the criminal lawyer on how to structure the deal better to potentially avoid immigration consequences in criminal court.
