EB-1A Processing Time & Biometrics Delay – Safe to Travel?

I submitted my EB-1A petition over seven months ago, and it’s still stuck at the biometrics stage—no updates since then. I’m wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience and could share when your EB-1A case got approved?

Also, I’m planning to travel back to my home country soon. Is it okay to travel internationally while the EB-1A is pending, especially when it’s still early in the process?

Any advice or experiences would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Did you submitt your I485 or I140? Do you have a valid H1B status?
