Hi, I am in the same situation.   I put my EAD/AP in my phone as I was worried my wallet might be stolen.  Phone was stolen in Madrid yesterday!   USCIS advised we contact the Embassy in Madrid. They refused to assist as Im not a Lawful Permanent Resident. 

 

My return flight is on Dec 11th and we just got notice that the Green Card interview will be in December.  I have to get back. 

 

@Nadya Wong how did you resolve?  

 

US Immigration do a pre-clearance at Dublin airport.  So I wonder if an airline flying from Dublin would be subject to less fines and therefore more willing to accept me as a traveller.  I also saw other suggestions about entering via a land border eg Canada.  Has anyone tried that? 

I'd recommend you exhaust all venues of getting an official document replacement in the next few weeks before your flight - but worst case scenario I think you take copies of your advance parole approval documents and the copy of the EAD card and try it at the airport. Stay firm that nothing is out of place, you can legally travel with the advance parol documentation (if that is in the states - have it priority mailed to you! We would never leave the US without it) and keep escalating until someone lets you through. You have proof in the advance parole document that you can enter the US legally and then In the US they can manually verify you - your biggest obstacle is getting through boarding. 

 

Good luck!

From what I read, its about getting to POE.    Land based crossings from Canada or mexico may solve the problem if one has a tourist visa to Canada or Mexico.  Just thinking out of the box.
