Has anyone actually traveled with an approved I-131 Advanced Parole but without the physical papers in hand?

I have flights booked to leave in a few days and my papers haven't arrived yet. I was unaware that there is now a combo card with Employment Authorization and Advanced Parole combined. My EAD was sent to my old address before I called to change it. I originally thought my I-131 would be sent to my new address but since it is now in a combo card with my EAD they were both sent to the wrong address. Even though our mail is being forwarded to our new address USCIS will not allow its mail to be forwarded so it has been sent back to USCIS. I have sent in a request to resend the papers to our new address but I have no confirmation of when they will arrive.

My question: Can I still leave the country (going to Canada) without the actual papers in hand if I will have the papers in hand when I re-enter the USA? My husband is joining me later and can bring them when they arrive. I am on a K-1 Fiance visa and we have no children. My I-485 is still pending.

Thanks for your help!

What is the current waiting period to receive the actual visa papers after you have been approved at the interview at the consulate in Montreal?

We were approved after 222 days! Good luck to everyone still waiting!

congratulations everyone on getting the approvals.

Happy for all of you, but also growing more and more frustrated (if that is even possible).

We're waiting since November 10! Any other early November fillers out there that are still waiting? Or are we skipped?

November 12th for us!

204 days in.. At this point I would be happy with even an RFE. At least something to know that they are working on our papers! Congrats to all who have been approved! Hope the waiting isn't too much longer for the rest of us!
