Domestic travel - yes, you're good. Outside the US - you need AT LEAST AP to return to the USA.

Agreed with Jenny8. You can travel domestically within any of the 50 states of US, even without your SSC and DL, But it is advisable that you bring any ID (your passport) with you plus a valid immigration document. If your I-94 is still good, bring it with you. Or if you have received already your EAD and the NOA for your I-485, then bring them as well.

For international travels, you need AP or GC, whichever comes first, to re-enter US.

Does your EAD card say on it "Serves as 512-L Advance Parole"?

If not, and you leave the US, then your AOS will be formally abandoned, you will lose $1100, and you will be stuck outside the USA.

If you have EAD then why oh why oh why do you not have AP? I hope you have it and just dont know it.

Yes it is.

[bubblebubble 16]

Yes it is.

Really? When I filled out I131, I remember reading only 3 categories of travelling purposes: work, education and humanitarian...arr..I must have misunderstood it.

You didn't need to fill out that part. AP is routinely approved for people with AOS pending; if you read the instructions carefully you don't even need a reason to request it.

It looks like you did not submit form I-131 with your AOS application, therefore no, you will not be able to travel outside the US with your EAD since it won't have the "serves as I-512 advance parole". You will need to wait for your green card.

The green card could take a long time (up to a year). So if you plan to travel outside the US in the meantime you should submit form I-131 now, with a copy of your NOA1 from the I-485. It's free.

If you had filled your paperwork out properly, your EAD/AP would have come as a "combo card" both on the same card!

Somebody, dropped the ball here..,.,.,you really missed it!

OP does not have his EAD yet, he is asking hypothetical questions and then sassing people when they don't understand his poorly typed English. So much for trying to help.
