So here is the question, I assume he will not get the visa if he puts it on there, should he lie about it and hope they do not check or other advice?
I hope I posted this in the right place. Any advice appreciated? I assume they do not cross reference applications and such, isn't just for tracking purposes of who enters and exits the country?
Were you aware of this when he was hired? It's common for job application forms to ask whether one has ever been convicted of a felony. This case is one example where the answer can be relevant to job requirements, even if the employer isn't concerned that the person will commit another crime.
