My H1B is valid for a few more months and I have a valid visa stamp. My employer just filed for my extension. Can I travel abroad while the extension is pending if I return before my current petition expires?

Answer

Yes, this generally is permissible. International travel ordinarily does not impact a pending H1B extension. (04.Feb.2021)
