Does AP expire as soon as USCIS issues my Green Card?
Your advance parole document automatically voids upon approval of your permanent residence petition. Itβs akin to someone using a permanent resident card after their naturalization has been approved.
when I re-enter the US, will they accept my Advance Parole?
That said in their system it may take some time to update so you might be able to return on it. Doesnβt mean it is legal.
Advance parole is an immigration document issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to enable an alien to be paroled into the United States. It is not a U.S. visa or a re-entry permit; it is only issued to people without permanent residency.

Multiple US immigration lawyers say that you will surrender your EAD/I-512 and receive your temporary I-551 stamp at this interview if there is no problem with your documents or answers to interview questions. Otherwise you'll be asked to submit any missing documents later, and you keep your EAD in hand. (Examples: 1, 2)
You should tell the officer at the interview that you have to travel in two days, just as a reminder. The USCIS policy manual instructs officers to ensure they place the stamp in your passport in this case.
If the officer determines that the case is approvable during the interview and the applicant anticipates immediate emergency travel, the officer may place a stamp as proof of temporary permanent resident status in the applicantβs passport, per local office guidelines. The stamp must have a dry seal affixed to be valid for travel.
