Normally, one misdemeanor domestic violence offense will not deem someone inadmissible regardless of who is the victim. However, a felony or a sentence in excess of 6 months or other crimes can make him inadmissible. An attorney should review his record.

Most domestic violence convictions will make him inadmissible. You should get his complete immigration file and criminal records, then consult with an experienced immigration attorney to see if he qualifies for a waiver.
