Woke up to the message for EAD & AP approval. Best news this week!

I have a question about travelling out with AP.

If I could get my card by next Friday (a week from online approval), I plan to travel out of country on next Saturday. Anybody travel out right after getting the AP? and did you encounter any problem coming back to US at the port of entry?

Here is our timeline:

12 Aug 2015: EAD & AP Approved

17 Aug 2015: Approval Letter Received

18 Aug 2015: Card Mailed

20 Aug 2015: EAD/AP Card Received

25 Aug 2015: Left country for family wedding in the UK

07 Sep 2015: Successfully used AP to gain entrance back into US

It took us 8 days to receive card after approval, and 5 days after receiving we left the county and successfully re-entered two weeks later. We didn't have any problems at all, but were asked to show the EAD/AP card before leaving the country, before checking in on our return flight (the woman checking us in needed a little help realizing she could use S' A-number), and at immigration.

11/16/15 Green Card in my hand

Hi, I was wondering how long it takes you guys to receive the green card once it is approved (on the spot)?

My husband recently moved to a different state due to work, while I'm in his hometown waiting on EAD or GC whichever comes first. The current employer who sponsored my H1B allows me to work remotely as long as I've got the legal document (my H1B doesn't allow work from a remote site). I'm hoping that I can leave in a week after the interview, as I assume we should be able to get approval on the spot. However, I'm not sure if I will receive green card that soon. So idea?
