I hold an H1 visa and do not have a lot of time off accrued, instead I hope to be on Loss of Pay time off while I am traveling to my home country for a month. I will have my visa stamping appointment during this travel as well. My manager is fine with this arrangement. Is this allowed by USCIS? does anyone have personal examples of when they have done this and if so, how was your experience dealing with USCIS after that?
TLDR: As an employee on H1 visa, can I go back to my home country for about a month on loss of pay?

I personally think it should be fine, because you are still employed for the petition sponsor. For visa stamping, make sure you have the 3 most recent pay stubs with you.
Double check with your attorney though. Not a legal advice, just opinion.
