My now husband entered with a K1 Visa but we have not submitted his AOS yet because we just got married. The issue now is he has his own business in his country and needs to travel back to take care of some issues and is not sure if he can travel yet? Can he leave and come back with his K1 visa which hasn't expired?

The K-1 visa was cancelled when he arrived at the POE and replaced with a I-94 visa with a 90 day expiration.

Of course he can leave at any time, but if he doesn't have his AP or GC (all done by submitting the AOS packages) then he will not be allowed back into the US. Then you will have to apply for a CR-1 spousal visa which takes about a year to obtain.

So the short answer would be No. Don't do that.

thanks everyone..I guess he will have to wait to submit the AOS and the shop will have to wait until he is able to travel.
