Staying outside the USA for longer periods of time while on a green card?

[felipe2121 0]

Hi to everyone, I cant even describe how much this forum has helped me

a thousand thanks to everyone contributing.

So I have received my green card through marriage, I have a family member that has been very sick for a while

(cancer), and I am helping him out currently in Germany, I have currently stayed out of the USA

for around 5 months, I have a house and have bills that are being paid in the USA and my spouse has also visited me here from time to time. I do my work online IT stuff and my taxes are also filed in the usa. I have heard that I can only stay for up to 6 months out of the country, my main questions are:

If I come back how long would I have to stay in the USA until I could go back to see my relative? Also what can be filled I heard a travel permit mite be option, are there any consular filings I can do?

This as mentioned is not a permanent situation I just wish to spend as much time with my relative before he passes away.

Thank you for your help.
