If I just received my combo EA card and approval of I-131, is a honeymoon trip an acceptable reason to travel abroad under the combo card?
I submitted my I-130/I-485 through my husband, a US citizen. I did biometrics last month and am waiting to hear about the interview date. The interview has not been scheduled yet. I am planning to go on a honeymoon with my husband from next month for a month. We both are working so this is the only time we both can take time off. Is there a chance that I could be rejected from returning to the US? Has there been any case? Can traveling abroad during the pending application work negatively during the interview? At the moment I am working under H1B which expires next month.

You should not have any problems traveling internationally and returning with the advance parole travel document if you are currently in valid H-1B status and were such at the time of filing the I-485. Typically, issues with AP arise when the person using it was not supposed to have one in the first place because he/she was not lawfully present in the US at the time of obtaining it.
