Under these circumstances, your record is not relevant to his obtaining his residency.

As long as the crime was not against a child, no issue.

If you are a US citizen, you can petition for your husband even if you are a felon. It is your husband's criminal record that USCIS looks at.

No problem for you to petition your husband even if you have a felony conviction record. The only legal bar from a US citizen to petition spouse or children is if the US citizen has a conviction involving sexual offense against a minor.
