Working abroad of EAD/AP

Hi guys,

I work as a television broadcaster (freelance). I've been given a contract to work on the 2016 Rio Olympics. However, I have a few questions before I sign. So I am currently waiting for my NOA2, it should be with us sometime this month if the timelines are anything to go by. If everything goes to plan, I should be over in the US around end of December, January 2016 time when I can marry my fiance and apply for AOS/EAD/AP.

However, will the EAD/AP, if approved, let me travel to Brazil and work for 27 days or is it simply an 'emergency' parole if you NEED to leave?

Would really love to take this job as it sets me up for future Olympics, however, I don't want to leave the US and not be readmitted as I was still waiting for the GC.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
