International travel while dependent applications are pending can sometimes create procedural or timing complications depending on the exact filings and status history. Since your H-4 is already approved and only the H4-EAD is pending, the situation is different. With that being said, because travel, biometrics completion, and re-entry details matter here, I would strongly recommend discussing your case with an immigration attorney before departing.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session!
