"Can I travel with pending I-485?"

[BriyasTaramya]

"I currently hold a valid H-1B visa, and my I-485 application is pending. I am wondering about the implications of international travel in this situation. Can you provide information on whether it is permissible and advisable for individuals with a pending I-485 to travel internationally while holding a valid H-1B visa? Are there any specific considerations, restrictions, or potential issues that I should be aware of before planning such travel?"

You will not abandon your I-485 if either:
1) you maintain H1b status until right before you leave, and return to the US on an H1b visa, or
2) you are granted Advance Parole before you leave, and return to the US on the Advance Parole
