Currently on H1B visa and my company just filed my perm a month ago (and based on current situation I shouldnt expect to hear back until 7-8 months from now). I want to travel overseas and I’m wondering for how long can I be out of the country and if this will impact my perm process.
Any inputs will be appreciated.

It won’t impact a thing. You should be good

I’m in the same boat and traveling overseas next month. My law firm said, it shouldn’t be an issue. Hope that helps!

No impact, travel and have fun!

Won’t impact your ongoing PERM. Just make sure you have a valid visa to travel.

Traveled while my perm was pending approval last year to get H1b stamp. Got my GC this year no issues.
