Hi. I am currently on H4. I need to travel abroad urgently and my H-1B Petition is Pending. My concern is whether the travel will jeopardiz my chances for H1B aproval? I would appreciate if someone can tell me what are my options in this scenario.

Currently, there is a lottery for H1bs. 65,000 H1bs would be granted out of the 133,000 applicants. So you have a 50% chance of getting your H1b. If you filed your H1 under normal category (not premium process), it would take 3-4 months to receive your H1. If you can fly back before 3-4 months, I think your H1b would not be jeopardized.

Thank you. If that is the case (to learn about my H1 approval in 3-4 months) and is the safe period to fly outside US, that would be wonderful as i am planning to travel next week for about 2 months.
What if I get my H1b approval letter when I am abroad? What are the things to be considered?
