My current H1B I-94 is still valid, but my H1B amendment is pending. If I travel overseas for a couple of weeks, am I allowed to return while the H1B amendment is still pending?

There is a USCIS memo that says that you should be able to travel while an amendment is pending if you have a valid H1B visa in your passport and the receipt notice for the amendment. However, in the current environment at CBP it is unwise to do so, and we recommend waiting until the amendment is approved to travel. (30.Apr.2018)
