Travelling out of US after I-485

Asked almost 4 years ago - San Jose, CA

I am on H-1B visa, currently employed full-time in San Jose. I filed my I-485 in July 2007 and I have my EAD and advance parole approved. My I-485 is not approved yet. I am in the EB2 category, from India, and my priority date is not current.

My question is:
Can I quit my job and travel to India for 6-12 months, then come back to US on advance parole (which I will need to renew in October)? What are the issues I need to look out for?

Thanks.

No. You shouldn't quit your job until after you have received your green card. When you have your final interview, Immigration will want to see your last 3 months pay stubs from your current employer.
