If he becomes a permanent resident, there is not limitation to his travelling back and forth.

If he is immigrating and getting a green card he can travel as he wishes so long as he does not remain outside the U.S. for more than 180 days. If he is getting asylum he cannot go back to that country.

If he becomes a permanent resident, he can travel outside of US for short period of time. If he stays outside of US for more than 6 months, it may affect his citizenship application in the future. Staying out for more than 1 year may affect his permanent residency.

After he immigrates to the US, he will be a US permanent resident, and he is free to visit any country in the world.
