Green cards are only issued for people who intend to permanently reside in the United States. What you described is a desire for your stepfather to temporarily enter the United States for the purpose of assisting a family member and then returning back to Saudi Arabia. Your stepfather should apply for an emergency tourist visa, and explain that he needs to enter the United States to assist a family member for an emergency situation. Based on all the facts and evidence that your stepfather presents to the consulate officer, that would be up to the discretion of the interviewing official Whether he would qualify for an emergency visa.
