EAD - can we be out of country for 6+months..

[murthydara]

Hi, I am on EAD status and my I-485 is in pending status. My PD is Dec2009. Now I am planning to go back for 6months bcz of health issues. Will there be any issue if out of the country for more than 6months during I-485? Does it impact my I-485 status?

Thanks.

EAD is not a status. If you have AP you can leave and come back before that expires.
