I am on L1 B (Valid till Oct 2013). I will apply for AOS (because of my marriage to a US citizen) in November 2012.

Can I go for a vacation from 10-Jan-2013 to 31-Jan 2012. This is the time when my I 485 will be in pending status.

Will there be any problem while trying to enter USA with valid L1 and pending I 485 status ?

Please suggest

L-1 is a dual intent visa so you shouldn't have an issue. However, it's possible you could be scheduled for an interview in that time so make sure you have someone checking your mail while away and be prepared to return for it if needed.

Thanks a lot for the info, I have few more questions:

Should I go for an Attorney ? How much will they charge?

I am not willing to go to an attroney due to their high fees, but i will go thru them in case if it is very difficult to file by myself.

Since i am travelling to India on 10th Jan, should I marry 90 days before that so that i will have my EAD before I go for a vacation?

I don't have any issue if i get my EAD by feb but I want all other documentation and proceeding (ex: biometric test) done before January.

Please suggest what should be my timeline?

Can't I postpone my interview date if it is scheduled during my vacation?
