You can pay the $220 fees after entry into the US.  The plastic Green Cards will not be sent until you do so.

Thank you do much for your reply. 

So, will their passport be like a temporary proof of resident for one year until they receive their green card? Will the customs stamp a one year resident stamp on their passport ?

Yes. They will be legal residents once they enter, and CBP has endorsed the visas.

You said flying back to the US.  Have they already entered the US on their I-551's?  

 

You might as well go pay the fee now while you're thinking about it.
