H4 and H1 issues

I am currently at USA on my H4 Visa ( Expiring MAR-2008 ). I have applied for my H1 this year it got selected in random selection process. Now we have received a query from USCIS on some documends and we sent them today.

I need to travel to india during November 2007 for my sister marriage.
My question is If i get my H1 approval before i leave to India still can I
go to india and come back using my existing valid H4 visa then apply for Change Of Status COS or better to leave to india while is it in PROCESSING.

---- Yes you can travel to India and be back on H4. You may not be permitted to apply for a change of status to h1. You may have to go out of the country to get a H1 Visa and tehn enter US, start working and in teh meanwhile get the SSN

---- Most probably YES. As you may not have received I-94 attached to your H1 approval notice

---- If you do have a I-94 with your H1 then you can start working and go for stamping at a later date
