Let's start with the language.

There is no such thing as a "Conditional Resident Visa."

What your daughter has is a Green Card. It's valid for 2 years, and it's based on the condition that you will still be happily married in 2 years when you apply for the 10-year card, which why people sometimes call it a conditional card. However, like you she is now a Lawful Permanent Resident of the USA, without any conditions that somebody else who has a Green Card for 20 years has, doesn't have. It's like any other Green Card in the US, without any exception.

A Reentry Permit is needed, if a Green Card holder stays out of the US for 1 year or longer. If she leaves in August and comes back in December, she doesn't need anything other than her passport and her Green Card and since it's even less than 6 months, they probably will not even ask her any questions and just say "Welcome home!" when she arrives.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

She will be gone about 4 months, is that correct? As long as it's less than 6 months, she shouldn't have any problems coming back to the USA.
