Legal Question in Immigration Law in Oregon

I am trying to help a friend, who is a US Citizen and is serving time for sexual offense to a minor, to apply for his over-21 children to immigrate to US (Form I-130). Would he be denied such a request based on his conviction, assuming all other supporting documents are good?

Yes, his I-130 petitions can be denied because of our new immigration law which is very strict when a sex offender petitions for relatives (including a wife and children). Sometimes it can be approved, but not if he is currently serving time. He needs to consult a knowledgeable immigration attorney. (The above answer is wrong).
