Can I travel outside the U.S. while my H-1B is pending?

Yes, but with important considerations:

• You need a valid H-1B visa stamp in your passport to re-enter the U.S.
• If you travel while your petition is pending, make sure you have valid F-1 status and travel documents
• If your H-1B is approved but you don't have the visa stamp, you'll need to get it at a U.S. consulate
• Consider premium processing if you need to travel soon
