My parents GC is expiring on Aug 20th. They left for India June 2019. My father had to get angioplasty in Sept 2019 followed by another procedure in October. Medically it was advised not to travel for next 6 months at least. Now due to Covid, they are stuck in India.
Q1 - Due to COVID, can we request one year extension for GC?
Q2 - If not, what are other options. They are 70+ and with current situation it is not safe for them to travel for another 6 months or possibly a year.
 
If they are not able to travel before their GC expires, their only option is to apply for an SB1 returning resident visa at a US consulate. Since they've been out for more than 1 year, a transportation letter is no longer an option.
