How long for conditional greencard holder would be allowed to live outside US?

I think if conditional GC holder return back to US within 1 year, then it is okay. Please confirm.

Trust me is not OK for a conditional greencard holder to be gone for a year. the lease you can be gone for is at lease 4 months. traveling for a year is consider abandoning your residency in the united stated.

Maintaining Permanent Residence:

Maintaining Permanent Residence

You may lose your permanent resident status (green card) if you commit an act that makes you removable from the United States under the law, as described in Section 237 or 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (see the “INA” link to the right). If you commit such an act, you may be brought before an immigration court to determine your right to remain a permanent resident.

Abandoning Permanent Resident Status

You may be found to have abandoned your permanent resident status if you:

- Move to another country intending to live there permanently

- Remain outside of the United States for more than 1 year without obtaining a reentry permit or returning resident visa. However, in determining whether your status has been abandoned, any length of absence from the United States may be considered, even if less than 1 year

- Remain outside of the United States for more than 2 years after issuance of a reentry permit without obtaining a returning resident visa. However, in determining whether your status has been abandoned any length of absence from the United States may be considered, even if less than 1 year

- Fail to file income tax returns while living outside of the United States for any period

- Declare yourself a “nonimmigrant” on your tax returns

I have no idea where you're getting this, but you're wrong.

Traveling for 365 or more consecutively will automatically be considered as abandonment of residence and loss of greencard, unless the greencard holder applied for a re-entry perming prior to the travel to protect his/her permanent residence status.

Traveling for 364 days or less will not automatically be considered as abandonment of residence or result in loss of greencard, but will most likely raise questions with CBP at the time of re-entry, and there better be some proof of why residence was not abandoned (such as a lease in the US, bank accounts, proof of filing taxes in the US, other strong ties to the US)

Traveling for less than 180 days consecutively may raise questions at POE with CBP, but generally won't result in any bigger trouble, if there isn't a pattern of several long trips abroad and short visits back to the US.

Absences of over 6 months will generally break continuous residence for citizenship purposes and therefore re-set the citizenship clock back to zero.

As a permanent resident, you have to always file taxes in the US, and it would be good to make sure you're able to demonstrate other ties to the US as well, as mentioned above. Also keep in mind that you will have to be in the US to file for Removal of Conditions and attend biometrics as well as an interview, should you be called in for one.
