If you have a Valid H1b stamping in your passport and you never used your EAD then you shouldn't be having any problem . But if you leave US without getting AP approved then your AP application becomes void.

I am in similar situation. I have a valid AP and have applied for AP renewal which is pending. I will be travelling in March.

I tried my best to get a conclusive answer for the same question as yours. Got different answers from different people. Finally I decided to listen to my lawyer, according to whom, its ok to travel while you AP renewal is pending as long as you have valid AP. I guess same would apply to having a valid H1.

I would be interested in knowing what you decide.

Good luck
