If you have a valid advance parole document, you are extremely unlike to have any significant problems re-entering the country.  You can expect possibly being asked questions.......there is no "current immigration situation" to worry about....enjoy your trip.

It's relatively straight forward. Can't say I've seen anyone have issues with it. 

Don't believe the "immigration situations right now", most of it is hysteria and untrue. You're legal and have AP and are legally able to travel.

One of my friend who is in TPS currently travelled abroad with AP and came back with no issues. TPS holders need good reason to apply for and to travel with AP. AOS filers don’t need any reason at all.

You could choose to await citizenship just to be absolutely sure you can get back in.  Seriously AP and GC work Just fine.  Even an I-551 stamp in the passport should the need arise.

 

We left with just a stamp 5 days after coming in. (Cr1)

Your card has an EXPIRATION DATE.  You can travel as long as your card in not expired.  Return prior to October 3rd.

Like someone just said as long as you travel and come back before the expiration date you are fine.

Also most likely they will re-use your previous fingerprints to renew the combo card and you wont need to go back.
