travel outside the US while AOS pending

[jd imm]

I was reading a post answered by ginnu where he was advising someone of not using a AP if it was approved while that person was not in US .
1 . Is it ok to use the AP if we apply then travel and its approved after we come back ?
2. And to confirm what I read/understood , Its NOT ok to use the AP if we apply then travel and its approved before we return ?
3. Do we need to update our information (like new I-94 no , port of entry etc) with BCIS once we come back ?
Thanks

I dont think u will have any problem using the AP.
No need to inform BCIS.

AP is a supporting document that lets you travel while on 485.

It broadly depends on - what 'work visa' you are using to work
in the US.

If you are using an H1 (valid visa) - you dont have to bother about AP. You can travel in and out using multple entry h1.
