Risk with legal status? Suggestions Please

My extended OPT will expire on June 29, 2016 and my employer has just initiated the process for EB2. I am hoping the labor certification will be approved by OPT expiration. I really have no desire left to go back to school to just maintain my status nor do I have enough patience and appetite left at this moment to go H1B route (it is a direct EB2 without H1B in consultation with company immigration attorney). I am thinking of applying for TPS soon and not going back to school once my OPT expires. I will go back to school if TPS is not extended beyond 2016. Also, I am thinking of going back to Nepal in 2016 using TPS advance parole. So, if I decide not to go back to school after my OPT expiration will my legal status create problem at port of entry while returning back from Nepal after June 2016. What will be my status between July-Dec 2016? Also, how long one can stay back at Nepal on advance parole?
