Hi there, I am new to this forum.

I just received my NOA for Initial Interview on 29 Nov, 2011.

I will be traveling back to Malaysia for my best friend's wedding and visit my family on my AP, and (phew!)will be back in the US on 28 Nov, 2011.

What are the main documents that I should have with me at the Port of Entry when i return to the US (as I will be flying alone without my husband)?

I understand that there may be some complications at the Port of Entry while using the AP. My husband, unfortunately will not be able to travel with me as the air fare tickets are expensive. Will the officer give me complications because I'm traveling alone??

Kindly please advise. Many Thanks!

I returned without my husband before my GC interview using the AP and had no issues whatsoever. All you need to show is the AP - if you used a different name (i.e. married name) in your AP/EAD/GC paperwork, bring a copy of your marriage certificate with you. I also had my interview letter on me, but never had to show it. Just passport and AP.
