Give us some details. Only applying for I130 won't give you rights to leave the country and come back? What is your status? Have filed for AP?
 
thanks

I am planning to get married with a USC, but I might have to travel abroad after filing the greencard by marriage case to USCIS.
Am I going to be required to stay in US during the time from application to interview? I'm on H1b now

Since you are on H1B, you are free to travel and re-enter US as long as you maintain a valid H1B. If you plan to use your EAD, you may have to apply for AP to travel. Its not a requirement to stay here while your application is pending, but you have to be present here in the US for the interview.
