If I left the US after a week upon entering with an I-55 and II now need to return to the US for my biometrics appointment, will this be a problem?
I am a Pakistani citizen living in London. I got my greencard approval and my I-551 based on marriage. I entered the US about 5 weeks ago to activate my greencard, but left after a week. I have now been called in for a biometrics appointment. Will I be able to return to the US without a greencard and with only an I-551? Will I face any problems/questions at the point of entry?

Yes, a stamp in your passport evidencing your permanent resident status is the same effect as the actual green card so you should not have any issues with entering the US. The question is really why you would be called in for biometrics after you have been approved for a green card.
