If I married someone in another country can he return to the United States with me as my husband

Hello, Your spouse may immigrate to the U.S. after you marry but you would need to file for an immigrant visa and wait for approval before he can join you in the U.S. The U.S. consulate would consider his criminal history and he may be denied entry because of certain criminal convictions. At that time you may be able to file a waiver. Some, not all crimes can be waived and he would have to remain abroad until a decision is made on his waiver application. It is important that you get his full criminal history and speak with an experienced immigration lawyer before you move forward so that you can understand the possible effect of his conviction on his chances of living in the U.S. Good Luck.
