Travel abroad while H1-B extension is pending?

[popoi2013]

My current 3-yr-term H1B will be expired on 9/30/13. My employer applied for extension in April this year and it is still on "initial review" as of today 7/9/13. I'm planning to travel abroad to visit my family on 8/1/13 and return to US on 8/18/13. So that's mean I will return a month before the expiration date on my current H1-B. Would I get into trouble if I travel abroad while my H1-B extension is pending?

No trouble.

In my opinion, it is advisable to stay in U.S. while your extension is under processing. Your leaving of U.S. would cause your current I-94 to be "In-Active", the same that was submitted to USCIS, to get returned with extended date along with H-1b approval.

 

I would suggest you to contact your attorney, before you decide to travel.

I had the similar case. My visa is expiring in Mid Sept. I came back from a India trip Mid July. There was no issue.
FYI, my airport Boston,MA.

It is 4 months since your H1B extension has been filed. Any idea why this huge delay?
