New US visa approved while on travel

score:3

Accepted answer

I'm not going to give you an answer as such, because any answer will be at best incomplete, and at worst, wrong.

Presumably your extension of status is being completed by your employer, or more likely your employers external immigration lawyers. You NEED to talk to them about your travel plans. For most visas, leaving the US with an extension of status request pending would result in that request being canceled. H-1B is an exception to that rule, but if things are not done correctly it can still result in your extension request being canceled (eg, if the extension is filed whilst you are out of the country), or you status not being extended (eg, if you return to the US without providing details of the approved extension).

The ONLY party that can help you here is the lawyers who filed the extension. You should reach out to them (and/or your employer) immediately and discuss your travel plans with them.
