The Executive Order banning issuing immigration visas to parents of USC for 2020.  If Trump wins in November, it could be extended.

Even if Trump loses in November, he'll still be President until January 20, 2021. So he may or may not extend the proclamation in December.

True.  However, if Trump loses in November and extends it in December, President Biden would lift the ban on January 20, 2021 or shortly thereafter.

OP, very sorry to hear about this situation.

 

i would think carefully however, about leaving behind the NHS care he’s receiving.  He won’t be eligible for anything like that here..  It will be very expensive, even with private insurance.

 

iI took care of my father in my home for 7 months this year while he was on hospice.    Hospice was a lifesaver (paid for via Medicare), but they do very little actual hands-on care.  It was all on me.   I am still recovering from the burden of that, as he was total care, 24/7,  and I had no help.  And I’m even an RN myself.
 

Had we not brought him here, the alternative would have been a $650/DAY skilled nursing home bed.   Shocking, but that’s how much it cost.   
 

Medicare covered the first 30 days, but he was self-pay for three weeks, and now we have a $17k bill to pay.  He was deemed ineligible for Medicaid because he still owned his home.

 

I’m not saying this would be your situation,  but aging in America is extremely  expensive.

And OP’s father will not be eligible for any sort of Medicare for 5 years, and after that only for a limited paid part.
