If he is not convicted of an offense involved a minor, he can petition you after you get married.

If you get married in a bona fide real marriage, his past should be OK. Although, the USCIS will likely require proof that he is making support payments.

His criminal record generally will not affect his petition for you. He will need to show he has enough income to petition for you or will need a joint sponsor. Are you currently in status?

Unless he has convictions for sexual offenses related to children, he should not have any issues in petitioning you.
