Dear all,
I have a offer of job from a US employer to work in a foreign country which may be a renewable contract for 1 year. I want to find out while my AOS is pending how long can I stay outside US? This is assuming I have switched employer and my I140 is approved and I am pass 180 days of my I485 (on a GC petition from my sponsoring emplyer).

Also, does my new employer needs to take over the AOS process since I will switch employer?

Thanks a lot for your input!
 
Use AP

If your are working on your EAD, you should have an approved AP in hand before leaving the country. You can use your AP to enter back into US within the validity dates of on your AP.
 
you can stay outside as long as your AP is not expired. Since APs are issued for 1 yr, you can do the math.
