Yes, He can file.
Custody is being decided by Court on the basis of spouse capability to raise child with good upbringing,not on basis of citizenship.
Spouse has to show to Court that he or she is economically sound, mentally fit. Time to time spouse will have to report to Court regarding well being of the Child as well as if necessary will have to give access to other party as per Court conditions.
