Yes, the "regular" AP can be used for any travel purpose without issue. Emergency AP will only be granted for emergencies.

Advance parol lets you board a plane and fly to a US airport for enter. The immigration officer has authority on if he should allow you to enter the country or not. May I ask why you are using advance parol?

Advance Parole is designed exactly for you to exit and re-enter US after travelling overseas. You can return to the Philippines to attend the wedding. You just cannot stay outside of the US for an extended period of time even with an AP. You'll need to maintain your presence in the US so that you will not be found abandoning your pending AOS or LPR status

Visiting family and a wedding, still don't know if I will use it, that's why I'm asking around

Do the one that comes with the EAD (aka combo card) is the normal one right? Is not a emergemcy one? (I'm sorry for all the questions I'm just want to make sure I'm doing things the way they need to)

Visiting family and attending a wedding, also get some things planned for our religious wedding that will be next year. I'm still not sure if I should use it. That's why I'm asking and making sure I take the right and correct desicion. I have been reading online and there is so much different answers for this question.

I mean is your visa expired? Do you have green card application pending? Unless you dont have a valid visa or green card no reason to use advance parole.

I came in a k1 visa (is only one entry) and we are currently waiting for our interview to be schedule (AOS)

Ok, so you MUST file for advance parole, which is $575.Will take about couple of months for the process depending on your location. When do you expect your interview? You dont want to pay the fees only to learn your interview will be over lapping with the marriage. I suggest you wait for your green card before returning back. With Trump running this country things can get crazy but again I am not a lawyer.

Yes, it's the normal one. It's really no problem to use it for a short trip abroad (did it myself). Just make sure you don't miss your AOS interview.

Wrong. I-131 and I-765 are free when filed with I-485.

(Irrelevant since OP already has the card)

 

OP, I'd use AP for visiting family! The only somewhat grey area is DACA holders or other previous long overstays using AP, definitely not you!
