Traveling outside of the US with a advance parole approval but no card in hand
Hello my wife got an approval of her advance parole (I1131) but hasn't gotten her advance parole card. In addition, she is planning to go back to her country tomorrow. The advance parole card is coming this week, and I am planning to pick it up for her. Furthermore, I will be traveling back to her country with her card so that we can travel back to the U.S. together. In short, will she be able to travel outside of the U.S. with an advance parole approval but no card?

She can leave USA but she will not be allowed to come in if she does not have actual card. I would suggest wait for actual card to arrive then leave.Originally posted by Aaronhlin View Post -
As long as she has the card coming in she should be fine. We were never asked for our card while leaving11/20/17 - PD - Marriage Based AOS

I just returned from a trip to my home country as well. The IO at border entry made it a point to remind me that the AP card is necessary for parole into the US, I see no problem with your wife leaving without the AP card but if she doesn't have it on hand on her return trip to the US there could be a problem - 1st at airline check-in (where they may look for it because there is no valid US visa associated with her non-US travel document) and 2nd at the US arrival immigration point where all APs require a secondary immigration check.Comment
