    I-140 with expired h1b

    I have an approved i140 with a 2017 PD and am working on H1b. However, I am planning to leave USA for a few years and plan to come back when PD becomes current. Is this possible if h1b expires while I am out of country. If I get a new h1b, will i140 be still valid in a few years?
