This is strange. The CBP doesn't email Airlines.

The land borders are closed till end of June.

if it is an H1B extension without change, then you cant work. but if there is an amendment plus extension then you can work .

One of my employees is also in the same boat. RFE received by uscis on April 10th in PP. Still no result. this is in Texas service center.

EO is only for new H1B's but not the current exciting ones. and that EO is also not confirmed .

NPT is always with respect to discretion of the officer. You can try

The only thing you can really do is try going to Mexico to get the stamping done instead of India. I saw some people doing that.

You dont need to lin/ update the new passport with your H1B. You are good. When you apply for the H1B or when you travel and show your new passport they will automatically link it.

You need a H1B visa stamping on your way back. I dont think AVR will work here since your stamping is F1 on your passport. It is better to check with an attorney .

You can choose a reason to renew the passport 1) Change of address on the back of the Passport 2) Change of appearance 3) Adding Spouse name These are unconventional ways of renewing the passport , but it works :)
