Few I-485 questions :
1. Is travelling on H1-B post I-485 filing but without AP okay ? USCIS website says H1-Bs can.
2. From one of my previous jobs (within 5 years) , I worked in 2 different offices , both in different cities. Question: Employer offer letter and paperwork lists only Office1. Should I also list office2 since office2 was added later and IS mentioned on internal emails. I do have some internal emails.
3. My college in US issued I-20 more than once because of some SEVIS change etc. I only have copy of one such I-20 (usually the latest) but do not have copies of all versions. Is this a problem ?
4. Beyond my degree, I took random (non-degree) courses in US while on H1-B and only have transcripts. You are allowed to do so on H1-B. Question: Do I have to disclose them ? Can that cause some issues especially since courses are spread out over 10 years while I was on H1-B ?
 
1. where did you see "that" information? Check this out: https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/while-your-green-card-application-is-pending-with-uscis
You need to have AP if you want to travel while your I-485 is pending.
2. where do you "list" the location? Not aware of this.
3. Do not know if I-20 ever comes into the picture unless you had any immigration related issues while on F1 status.
4. You are required to be truthful while answering every question but under no obligation to volunteer anything that is unnecessary / not asked.
 
You do not abandon a pending I-485 if you have maintained H1b/H4/L1/L2/K3/K4/V status until right before you left, and return on the same type of visa, even if you don't have advance parole. See 8 CFR 245.2(a)(4)(ii)(C) and (D):
(C) The travel outside of the United States by an applicant for adjustment of status who is not under exclusion, deportation, or removal proceeding and who is in lawful H-1 or L-1 status shall not be deemed an abandonment of the application if, upon returning to this country, the alien remains eligible for H or L status, is coming to resume employment with the same employer for whom he or she had previously been authorized to work as an H-1 or L-1 nonimmigrant, and, is in possession of a valid H or L visa (if required). The travel outside of the United States by an applicant for adjustment of status who is not under exclusion, deportation, or removal proceeding and who is in lawful H-4 or L-2 status shall not be deemed an abandonment of the application if the spouse or parent of such alien through whom the H-4 or L-2 status was obtained is maintaining H-1 or L-1 status and the alien remains otherwise eligible for H-4 or L-2 status, and, the alien is in possession of a valid H-4 or L-2 visa (if required). The travel outside of the United States by an applicant for adjustment of status, who is not under exclusion, deportation, or removal proceeding and who is in lawful K-3 or K-4 status shall not be deemed an abandonment of the application if, upon returning to this country, the alien is in possession of a valid K-3 or K-4 visa and remains eligible for K-3 or K-4 status.
(D) The travel outside of the United States by an applicant for adjustment of status who is not under exclusion, deportation, or removal proceeding and who is in lawful V status shall not be deemed an abandonment of the application if, upon returning to this country, the alien is admissible as a V nonimmigrant.
