The stamp in your passport acts as a temporary green card for one year once you enter the US. The actual card can take several months to arrive so there is no need to panic.

You entered on an IR-1 so you do not need AP. You are free to leave and re-enter the US.

The stamp in your passport acts as a temporary green card for one year once you enter the US.

The stamp by itself is nothing more than a CBP entry stamp and by itself confers nothing. It's a combination of the visa itself endorsed by a CBP entry stamp that acts as a temporary green card.

On the ELIS IV receipt is an IOE number.

Providing for the ELIS payment receipt by email leaves an impression that all details would be in the pay.gov email. Unfortunately, the email leaves out the IOE number. Closing the browser without printing the ELIS payment page or noting down the IOE number,, oh my!
