There is a possible urgency to go to my hometown within the next month or two to attend a funeral. We applied for a combo card two weeks ago and only received a I-797C for I-131 a couple of days ago. 

If I leave soon, will I have to wait for the paper before I decide to return? What should I do in this case?

If I leave before the finger prints appointment, will it be possible to postpone it? 

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

if you leave before you get your travel card you will abandon your status, from my understanding there will be no return for you and your spouse will have to file for a CR1 visa instead.

 

try and make an info pass appointment to see if you can get it faster.

 

my recommendations, not to leave the USA till you have a valid way back.

IF you leave without AP, you will not be allowed to re-enter the US.

 

You can try to have it expedited, but that happens pretty rarely, but it is worth a shot.

If you leave you will have abandoned your adjustment of status and your advance parole applications. There would be no way to get back into the country, even if they did issue you the advance parole once they discover you left without advance parole granted your process will be stopped and any benefits granted (green card, citizenship) would be rescinded. This has happened before when advance parole has been accidentally granted after the applicant left the country, USCIS denied their adjustment of status once they realized the order of events.  

 

Whilst postponing the fingerprints is possible in general, to do so in order to leave the country without advance parole is pointless as the appointment would no longer be needed as you would no longer have a case.

Agreed - leaving without AP = AOS abandoned and waiting ~12-16 months for an immigrant visa to return.

 

You can make an appointment to request emergency AP. Funerals stand a good chance of approval IMO. Bring evidence t substantiate your need for it.

If no appointment is available in the needed timeframe, you can try a walk-in.
