Absolutley yes you can leave.

Its happened a few times with guys in my company, most recently last week.

The problem is things become more difficult when you come back.

If your Visa is being processed and you leave the country, then you have to repeat everything you've done, as in from the very start.

If your visa is "under process", I assume you have submitted your passport to your liason officer so the visa can be stamped on your passport. If this is the case, then you have to wait for your passport with the stamped visa. You cannot leave without your passport (and exit permit)
