hey guys I have a question, I wanted to know if there is anyway to have one yr extension rather than having to enter the states every 6months with green card?

Thanks

Yes, you have to get a Re-Entry Permit. I think you can stay out for two years and then, you have to come back. You have to apply for it and it takes couple of months to get the permit. Best of luck to you!!!
