How much money do you have? It will come back NO. He can not. Then you need get a Imigration attorney to find out the why. $5,000. Then if you want him to fight it. $20,000 to start. Then when he looses. You can appeal. $50,000. Once you are broke & in debt. They may let him in to help support you. Keep you off welfare.
It depends WHAT crime he committed and how long he served. If it was for something like car theft when he was 18 that's going to be looked at differently than if it was for drug dealing or rape.
The standards for visitor's visa (B2) and spousal visa (CR1/IR1) are a bit different. Somebody who had been in trouble with the law is often unable to get a visitor's visa, but still can get a spousal visa unless the conviction is for a violent crime involving moral turpitude. That would be murder, rape, armed robbery, etc. If he got locked up for a white collar crime such as fraud, he may still be able to get an immigrant visa to the United States.
Depends on the charges, how long ago, etc, but it remains highly unlikely that anyone with any criminal convictions would be allowed to immigrate to US.
If the crime is listed as CIMT - Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude - those are an absolute bar to citizenship, and even someone who already held a green card would lose their GC with deportation/mandatory departure & permanent bar to entry. CIMT includes domestic violence, any crimes of violence (assault, etc.), rape/sexual assault, anything related to drug possession/sale, shoplifting, and more whether misdemeanor or felony. And there's no possibility of any waiver of inadmissibility with CIMT-listed offenses. You really need to consult an AILA immigration attorney with complete details of the offense(s), disposition, etc. But if it's listed as CIMT, there's absolutely no chance so you'd be wasting time & money making any attempt whatsoever.
Most likely your European fiancé/spouse would have to sponsor your immigration to their country. It's best to proceed that way instead of spending years of time & thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of dollars in what might be futile.
Ineligibilities for Visas - What If the Applicant Is Ineligible for a Visa?
Certain conditions and activities may make an applicant ineligible for a visa. Examples of these ineligibilities include: drug trafficking; overstaying a previous visa; and submitting fraudulent documents. If you are ineligible for a visa, you will be informed by the consular officer and advised whether there is a waiver of the ineligibility available to you and what the waiver process is.

A high chance of no. They may have to sponsor you to go to Europe.

Not necessarily. There are background checks even for those sponsored by US citizens and certain kinds of crimes are dealbreakers.

Probably not.
If the U.S. government believes that getting a visa was the only reason for the marriage, then definitely not.
You have to say FOR WHAT he was in jail, his age at the time, and how long ago.

Nope. Getting married does not remove disqualifications for a visa. Guess you will be living in Europe.
