My wife and I were planning on traveling back to Peru using her AP to re-enter sometime next month or so (because her mother is sick). The other day, we finally saw on the website the notice that her green card had been ordered to be produced and that they sent her a welcome letter (AOS from K1). My question is, in the mean time if she travels while we are waiting for her to receive the card, her AP is still valid correct?

Yeah...make sure she travels with Passport (obviously), EAD/AP card (and/or AP letter),

and marriage certificate (since likely her passport last may differ from EAD/AP card)...
