You need to know what crime he was charged with (the Statute Code Number) to know if a waiver is required and what type. I'm not sure if you are talking about getting him his green card or applying for citizenship. In any case, you should sit down with a lawyer of your choice and bring the court papers or CAL DOJ Report along with his immigration history and paper work so the lawyer can give you good advice on how to proceed. What a state classifies as a misdemeanor can have a completely different meaning under U.S. Federal Immgration Laws.
