Expedite AP APPROVED but not in hand, need to leave the country due to emergency

[blackberryapple 0]

Hey guys.

I have a situation here.

Well, my dad is ill in my home country and hence I requested an expedite this Tuesday.

I already received the email notice from USCIS stating this :

Type of service requested:

-- Expedite

The status of this service request is:

Your Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, was approved on 08/03/2012. Your Travel Document and approval notice will be mailed to the address on file. If you do not receive the travel document within 30 days from the date of this notice, please contact customer service at the number below for additional assistance.

Well, it was a relive knowing that my travel document is approved. And I do wish to travel tomorrow if possible due to my dad's condition. However, I have not receive my AP in hand and naturally I know it is a risk to travel.

My question is, has anyone traveled without AP in hand but already received approval? If so, what were the questions asked at the US entry port?

Thanks in advance

You must have AP in hand to travel. Do not leave without it.

I would try to schedule an Infopass for tomorrow. If one is not available I would show up with your ID and a printout of your approval and beg to be seen. If you can get into USCIS they can print it on the spot. If not, you cannot leave without it.
