Hello all! I am outside the USA at the moment coz of family issues and problems with husband work (husband still in USA). I want to know if I can stay from 7 to 10 months (still not sure).

Its better to apply for Re-Entry permit, Form I-131. Usually, your GC is safe if you return within 1 year, but having the re-entry permit allows you upto 2 years to return. Also it ensures that you did not intend to abandon your permanent residency status.

But they cannot apply for re-entry permit if they are all ready outside of the US.

My apologies. Yes, I did not realize that. However this is what I found -

You do not need to file the I-131 form and get a reentry permit if you will be outside the United States for less than 1 year. If you have been outside the United States for less than 1 year, you may use your Permanent Resident Card as your travel document.
