Hi:

You do NOT need advance parole. The stamp you desribe IS a "green card."

No, you don't require A/P. The I-551 stamp is the paper equivalent of the actual green card.

You have a "green card" for pratical purposes
The green card is form I-551
The I-551 stamp is a temporary green card.
You do not need adv parole.
