VerifiedHi
Sorry to hear that.
Yes, this may affect his application for a settlement visa.
The immigration rules state that an application should normally be refused if a person has been convicted of an offence in any country, which would be punishable with imprisonment for a term of 12 months or more if the offence had occurred in the UK.
Details of the possible sentence which a particular offence in England and Wales could attract can be found on the Crown Prosecution Service website at:
http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/s_to_u/sentencing_manual/.
However, his application might not be refused if the equivalent conviction in the UK is considered “spent” under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act.Please visit the link below for detailed guidance on this:

Hope this helps.
