Working in Canada with a US H1B and visiting the US every 6 months to maintain the status.

[hydrizxcv]

I know we're not supposed to work outside the US on an H1B for extended periods of time (more than 180 days).

But if one works for 5 months outside the US (in my case Canada) and returns for 1 month and then goes outside the US for another 5 months by maintaining an H1B status while working in Canada would there be any problems during Green Card processing, H1B extension, etc? Has anyone faced this or know anyone who has done this?
