More details to this question:
My husband applied for greencard and his I140 is approved under the EB1 category. We are planning to apply for I485 soon but after applying , can I travel out of country? Are they any complications to living US after applying for I 485? I want to visit my family urgently and stay in India for a month. What are my options? Please help thanks!!

You can apply for advanced parole at the same time you file to adjust status. Advanced parole will allow you to travel without terminating the pending I-485 adjustment application (which generally requires that you remain in the US until it is approved). Advanced parole is applied for on form I-131. Here is a link with more information:
