Can I travel to India when H1B visa is expired and extension is pending?

Hi Saurabh,

My H1B is expiring in June and my employer just filed for extension in regular processing. So I may have 2 months in US without visa but with extension filed.



1. Can I travel to India in July(when my H1B is expired) on pending extension?



2. Will it impact the extention process ?



Thanks!!
