No. His F-1 is no longer active and his SEVIs record is terminated.

Keep an eye on omicron. Things change overnight especially around international travel

i dont think so. strongly recommend asking the lawyer that helped you file the h1b petition. other wise a very risky decision to make based on fishbowl replies
