Answer
Yes, you can travel while I-140 is pending, but:
- Must maintain valid non-immigrant status (H-1B, L-1, etc.)
- Need valid visa stamp to re-enter
- Travel doesn't affect I-140 processing
- If I-140 approved while abroad, you can still use it
Important: I-140 approval doesn't give you travel authorization. You still need valid non-immigrant visa.
