Does leaving U.S. mean abandoning H1 Application?!

I left the U.S. while I had a H1 pending application and came back to U.S. using my Advance Parole before the approval of my petition. Last week I received the approval of my H1 and new I-94 form. Does this mean that my current status is H1? Somebody told me that leaving U.S. while the application is pending means abandoning your application. Is this right for H1 too? I wanted to bring my wife based on H4 application.

Please advise
Thanks

It does not matter wheter your H-1B is pending or approved, once you used the AP you you are deemed not abandoning your AOS. H-1B status become void on using EAD.
