Should not remain out if the country more than 1 year without first having a re-entry permit. (Filing an I-131)

However periods longer than 6 months can also be considered to be abandonment of LPR status.

Lastly periods longer than 6 months will affect when you could later file for US Citizenship.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.

AS A PERMANENT RESIDENT ( CONDITIONED OR NON CONDITIONED RESIDENCE ) YOU CANNOT STAY ABROAD MORE THAN 6 MONTHS , YOU NEED AP IF YOU STAY MORE . PLUS YOU CAN JUST STAY ABROAD FOR ONE AND A HALF YEARS OF YOUR 3 YEARS OF GETTING THE PERMANENT RESIDENCE TO CLAIM CITIZENSHIP THROUGH MARRIAGE .

A permanent resident even with the 10 years card can still be inspected by an immigration officer at the POE if he stays abroad more than 6 months at a time

not an issue as much to ROC but to maintaining permanent residency overall... if you google "maintaining permanent residency" it will provide info on this subject

it is not AP but a re-entry permit... re-entry permit must be applied for before departure...

YMMV
