Travel abroad while Visa is in COS processing with RFE status:

Hi murthy firm!

I m having a L1 B visa which is valid till Mar'2015 & I-94 till march 2016, and recently I applied for L1A visa as a change of status. Right now it got into RFE status.

Can I or my wife (who is my dependent on L2) whose status change also processed along with mine, can travel to India for a short vacation and answer the RFE after our return? What are the possibilities of COS can get denied because of this travel plan?

Or

If my wife travel alone & return before jan'2015 (before visa got expired), will there be any risk for her if we answer RFE or COS get denied during her trip?

COS pending and travelling out of US - invalidates the COS. It means you have abandoned the COS application and no more interested.

AFAIK, L1B to L1A chances are getting slimmer, but All the best. Please do not travel while a COS or Extension is in progress as it denotes that you are abandoning the process.
