I have my AOS interview scheduled for a morning in August. Later that day I have tickets to travel to Canada. I have my travel parole documents in hand. Im trying to figure out what my travel restrictions might be after the interview, assuming all goes well. Will I get a stamp in my passport to allow for travel or will I use parole docuements for the trip.
At your adjustment interview the IO might stamp your passport with something that says "I-485 Pending" or something similar. If you get approved for adjustment you might get an I-551 (temporary permanent resident) stamp. The I-485 pending stamp is supposed to prevent you from using a non-immigrant visa or the visa waiver program to re-enter the US (however, there are plenty of people who have claimed to have re-entered the US with the stamp and without a US travel document). However, since you already have a travel document, then you could simply re-enter using that document.
If you get the I-551 stamp, technically that means you can travel just using your passport. However, from personal experience and from others stories, I can tell you that sometimes airline staff will insist that you must have a greencard to re-enter the US. You may have to argue with them about this.
P.S. - If you have overstayed a visa or visa waiver prior to filing the I-485 you shouldnt leave the US until after you are granted permanent residence.
If you are not approved, then you can use your AP document for the trip.
If you are approved, reveal your travel plans and plead the officer to stamp your passport.
