Charged or convicted?

A battered husband would be the victim, and thus yes he can sponsor. If the husband is the one who battered/ was convicted, then that is a different story.

Charged or convicted?

husband arrested charged with a felony crime, then they changed it to misdemeanor, just charged , no prison

One post has been removed for not answering the OP's question and for directing the thread off on a tangent, as evidenced by subsequent posts (also removed) that were judgmental and unhelpful.

The OP's question is poorly worded, and some respondents assumed that she was asking about herself. Her timeline indicates that her visa has already been approved, so it's at least equally likely that she's asking hypothetically or on behalf of someone else. However, we don't know this yet.

OP, please clarify the basis for your query: why are you asking the question?

-- Is a female friend of yours (in another country) being petitioned by someone charged with that crime?

-- Or, have you learned, after the fact, that YOUR husband was charged with that crime earlier?

-- Or, are you asking out of curiosity?
