More details to this question:
My dad came to the US with a visa. While he was here, he got 2 DUIs and a domestic violence. He paid everything off and did classes. I became a US citizen. He went to Mexico. When he was coming back with the visa, they didn’t grant him permission because the DUI and the DV were shown on his fingerprints. Same year, he tried crossing illegally and they got him. He tried a second time and they caught him. They gave him a month in jail time and then let him out. It was 4 years ago.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. With that being said, the DUIs and Domestic Violence could make him inadmissible. In addition, his attempts to enter the country illegally could also work against him.

You would need to talk to an Immigration attorney. In many cases it is possible to apply for a waiver or reopen criminal cases.
