Green Card holder stuck outside the US for more than a year
I am a US citizen who Sponsored my fathers green card in 2010. His green card is expiring oct 2020. He had to stay in India since Jan 2019 due to health conditions. With the Covid pandemic situation and his age (81) and health conditions, he is not able to travel back to the united States before the green card expiry. My father does not have any family in India to take care of him and will have to come here so that my brother and I can take care of him. What are our options for avoiding the expiry of the green card? Secondly, is there a 60 day extension on the expiry date due to Covid 19?

Unstamped H-1B Quota Exemption
I had an H1B from my previous employer that was valid from Dec 2016-Dec2017. I never got the visa stamped and it has complete 6 years unused on it. The question I need your help with is if an employer files H1B for me, would it be eligible for Cap-Exempt processing or not?
The government may be pushy on this issue, but they do maintain that if you have not received a change of status, for example, from F-1 to H-1 or an H-1B visa stamp, if you are outside the USA, you are still subject to the quota. I think they are legally wrong. So the bottom line is you should try to go ahead and give it a shot, and I don't think the government is in a legally defensible position.
