How can I travel outside the country on advance parole with an expired passport?

I have applied for and advance parole, which was granted. But unfortunately, my Guinean passport has expired and I have no way to get a new passport cause I fled my country. I am planning to travel to France. I would like to know if I can travel out of the US and return back with my expired passport, or is there a way I can get a document I could use with my advance parole to travel abroad?

    You need a valid passport to enter France and to get a visa and to reenter the U.S. If you cannot get a valid passport, then you can apply for a refugee travel document, but not so easy to obtain.

    This depends on your current status in the U.S.

    You can use advance parole for permission to reenter the United States. Nonetheless, you will need a valid travel document, such as a passport, as well for both departure to and arrival in the United States.

    The AP will still require a valid passport. The AP is simply the temporary permission to reenter the U.S., like a visa.
