Just to note, even with a green card you are not guaranteed entry to the United States, only US citizens are Guaranteed entry. It may be guaranteed entry in a pair of handcuffs, but it is guaranteed entry. I don't know that the green card carries more weight than AP or not, but since you would then be an LPR I think it would look better.

We will travel together.We are from same country and same town.We will take all documents with us.But like I said we visit UScis office first.

If she exits the US without Advance Parole (AP), her AOS application will be deemed abandoned and she very likely will not be permitted back into the US without a CR-1/IR-1 (spousal) visa.

That is AP. Then she is permitted to travel. Be sure to carry her passport + valid AP document, marriage certificate (especially if there was a change in name), and a copy of the I-485's NOA1 is sugge

Out of curiosity, why would she be in handcuffs?

She needs the AP card. It should look similar to EAD or EAD/AP card. On it there should be language like: "serves as I-512 Advance Parole". If that's what she has, she should be okay to travel as long as she can come back on time for the interview. The chances of refusal of entry are about the same as with the GC. Only USCs have guaranteed entry.  

03/04/2016 AOS (EB2-NIW concurrent with I-485) mailed to Lewisville TX Lockbox
03/07/2016 AOS delivered to USCIS and signed
03/12/2016 Case received by Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
03/14/2016 Text notification received for I-140/I-485/I-765/I-131.
04/08/2016 Biometrics notice received for 04/21
04/13/2016 Biometrics early walk-in completed.
04/15/2016 EAD/AP combo card received in mail.

 

Long wait begins...

 

11/04/2016 I-140/485 cases transferred from Nebraska to TCS
12/01/2016 Prepared package for EAD/AP renewal (expires 04/09/2017)
12/23/2016 USCIS suddenly changes several forms, invalidating my EAD/AP renewal package (not yet sent)
12/27/2016 USCIS suddenly reforms the entire NIW criteria system, replacing a 20 years old one. Uncharted waters. 
01/07/2017 (Saturday!) EAD/AP renewal package with new forms received in Phoenix "reception desk"
01/17/2017 EAD/AP renewal case accepted; text/email with receipt numbers was received
01/30/2017 Law firm finally confirms that USCIS has suspended processing all EB2-NIW cases due to new criteria. 
02/23/2017 USCIS slowly starts adjudicating NIW cases again.
04/21/2017 Extended EAD/AP received in mail. Valid for 2 years. 
05/06/2017 Received a massive RFE on I-140 NIW case.
07/20/2017 RFE response received by USCIS (a very long response with 30 pages of docs)
09/14/2017 I-140 NIW approved!!! 
11/28/2017 RFE for new medical issued (plus another request re Supp J for employment which is clearly issued in error)
12/04/2017 RFE received in mail
12/07/2017 repeated medical exam for I-485
12/08/2017 Attorney receives documents for responding to I-485 RFE
12/21/2017 Response to RFE received by USCIS 
02/09/2018 I-485 approval (text, email) :)
02/08/2018 I-485 approval notice issued (the "welcome letter") - I'm LPR now
02/16/2018 Green card received
 
11/14/2022 Filed N-400 online; receipt and biometrics reuse form received online
03/07/2023 N-400 Interview scheduled 
04/xx/2023 N-400 approved, same-day Oath ceremony completed. I'm a US citizen.

This what we don't understand except work permit she got other mails.Usps sent back only work permit to the Uscis.So we will go to the local office this week and be sure.If they say there is a risk we won't leave the country.

Can you send picture of what she has ? DO you have actual AP card or just the papers from filing ? My wife's was a combo card, both AP and EAD. I think this is what may be confusing people.

I honestly would like to see what document he has too.  Because his first posts are confusing. In hist first post he says he did not get the work permit and then that wife did not get her Advance Parole either, to later say that they do have the travel document.

SHE has I 131 travel document.this may help her .But it's very scary.

 

 

OP.  Did you receive the AP in the mail? Or, you are talking about the I-131 form that you filled out? 

 

Can you upload the picture of what you have? Removing all personal information of course.

 

If she did not receive the AP in the mail, then she should not travel out of the country until AP or green Card in hand. Simple as that.

Can we go to Uscis and get the Advance parole so she can go and come back safely.Thank you
