You need do mothing... The stamp in your passport serves as your temporary greencard and is your authorization to work/travel/etc.... until your physical card arrives

YMMV

Yes - your temporary (unexpired) I-551 stamp in your passport will allow you to work. :thumbs:

I-9 form used by employers to verify eligibility to work.
