From what you described, it looks that way. Because of his felony, it's more difficult to apply for citizenship, but there are always exceptions depending on what he's guilty of, get a lawyer. Therefore he should contact the Laos Embassy in Washington DC to get a passport so at least he can travel. Check out the embassy at:
