Traveling on Advance Parole

Hello everyone, Has anyone traveled on advance parole while two greencard process is pending. I am super nervous to travel. I have two pending cases with USCIS EB3 unskilled and marriage to citizen case. I received AP from marriage case only because USCIS does not issue two AP. AP from EB3 case was denied because the other AP got approved. I came here on F1 visa and maintained F1 until i485 filed.
