What? They absolutely can, and it can be employee supported - I know this because I actually started this. While in the insanely long backlog you can get your h1b extended beyond the six year limit as well.

I had got married by and had a green card through that before the backlog and what not would have got through on the h1b path, but if I hadn’t met my person I would have still ended up a permanent resident.

They can if they fit the criteria for EB1A or EB2 NIW. I don't think most of H1B recipient fit the criteria for those visas.
Yes this is correct.
