    If your case is Change of Status (COS) from L1 to H1 and you travel while your case is still pending (not approved), your COS will be deemed abadandoned by USCIS. H1 approval is not affected but COS is.

    Otherwise, you can travel and re-enter on L1.

    If you travel after you get the H1 with COS approved and come back before Oct 1st, your COS takes effect and your status changes to H1 on Oct 1st despite travel. You cannot work for your L1 employer after Oct 1st in this case.
