Travel document, EAD and mixed up address

[mindah 4]

I entered on a K1 visa in June. Got married and filed for AOS, AP and EAD by the end of June. My husband and I moved to a new apartment on july 1st, we did the address change bit with USCIS on July 3rd,

Online, I was approved for my I-131 August 27; they said they had sent me out my approval notice. I was approved for my EAD at the same time (card in production).

Last Friday I noticed that on the USCIS website they said my card was "undeliverable" by USPS. And...I never received my approval notice for my travel document.

Seems they only changed the address on the "I-485" application but not on the I131 and I765.

Luckily, I was able to go to the local post office before my EAD card was returned but I never received the approval for travel document (cause they had the wrong address it seems).

I just spent 45 minutes on the phone with USCIS about this whole address mix up and (surprise surprise)they told me to wait 30 days for any action.

NOW, the question is; can I travel with the combo card? Or do I REALLY need the I-131 approval notice also?

Look at your EAD card. Look for the note that says "Serves as I-512 Advance Parole".

and yes, you only need the combo card and your passport to re-enter the country

Thanks for the response. Yes, it says "serves as I-512 advance parole." But the guy I was talking to on the phone with USCIS today told me that I needed to bring a copy of the approval notice of the I-131 along with the card. Perhaps he doesn't know what he's talking about? I have had some helpful people with USCIS but mostly, I have encountered inefficient, clueless people.
