Maybe but maybe not. It all depends. You probably should consult with an Immigration Attorney as well as a Criminal Attorney before you make any mistakes.

That will depend upon the type of criminal convictions - and the open warrant will present a problem at some point.

The US citizen spouse can file a visa petition even with a felony conviction, but if there is an outstanding warrant for him, he could be arrested at the immigration interview that you and he will need to attend.

Yes, if Immigration and the US consulate determines that your marriage is a real one.

Yes he can. It would be good, too, if he resolves the open warrant.

Please refer to Immigration form I-864 for more information about sponsorship. Your husband should clear up his warrant under any circumstances.
