In 8/27/08 I got the I-512L, Authorization for parole of an alien into the US (which is the I-131) approved with a date until when I can travel which is 8/26/09, a few mounths after I got the green card.
my qustion is if I need to be back in the US until 8/26/09 OR because I got the green card I can come back at any time regardless the I-512L? :confused:

I don't know of any specific rule that applies to your exact situation, but here some rules to consider:

1. If your permanent residence was approved via consular processing instead of I-485, you would lose it if you failed to enter the US within 6 months of the approval.

2. If you leave the US with Advance Parole and don't have H or L status, your green card process will be considered abandoned if you don't enter before the AP expiration date.

3. If a permanent resident stays outside the US for 1 year or more without a reentry permit, the loss of the green card's validity is near-automatic.

If I were you, I would enter the US before the earlier of (a) the Advance Parole expiration date and (b) six months since GC approval.

But if you have already set foot in the US since green card approval, forget about the Advance Parole; #3 is the only one above that is applicable to you.
