We are applying for AOS.  Last week, we received the approval letters for my husband's temporary work authorization and advance parole.  We then received his EAD card in the mail.  Will they mail some kind of official card or document for AP, or should we show my husband's approval letter?  We weren't planning to use AP, but my husband's grandfather suddenly became very ill, and my husband may need to fly back to Canada to attend a funeral. :(  We are hoping his grandfather makes a full recovery, but we are also trying to get all of our documents in order just in case.

If the EAD states on the front that it "Serves as I-512 Advance Parole" then you already have the combo EAD/AP card, and require nothing further. 

 

If it instead states "Not valid for re-entry to U.S." then you don't have the combo card and would require a separate AP document.
