As long as she is maintaining her L1B status, she can travel abroad and reenter US on her L1B visa with no effect on pending GC process. She may still want to file for EAD/AP since it's free. Keeping EAD/AP as a backup doesn't affect L1B unless used.

Hello,

 

seems like H1 and L1 can travel. I was told I cannot during AOS, but I have a E-1 Visa.

I imagine it’s because an E-1 is jot a dual intent visa like an L1 and H1 is. 
 

We just spoke with an immigration lawyer and he confirmed that L and H visas are an exception to the rule.
