Do I need to update I-94 information if travel outside US with H1B after submitting I-140?

If you've already submitted the I-140 petition, U.S.C.I.S. does not need updated information about your travel in adjudicating the petition. It is discretionary with U.S.C.I.S. as to whether to issue an alien registration number upon approval of an I-140 petition. If so noted and you are adjusting status to permanent residence on form I-485, you should be sure to notate that number on the I-485 form. The alien registration number is a file number which can be your green card number if your case is approved.
