Hi: I read here that if you are 180 days overstayed you will be banned for 3 yrs even with AP..What if you already have a Green Card, are you still banned? Thanks!

No, once you have the green card, your in the clear.

Are you sure you're asking about overstay? Overstay is if you're out of status (don't file AOS before your I-94 expires). It that case once AOS is granted any overstay is forgiven.

There is also the issue of Abandoning your Residency which would be spending more than 6 moths out of the US during any 12 month period. The way around this is to to get a document (not AP) that will allow you to return to the US is you're gone less than a specified amount of time.

AP has nothing to do with either of these situations though.
