All I can say is OMG BBQ! 5 years living outside the US?

almost 5.

Is it possible to apply the permit in overseas embassy?

If it's been 5 months already, exactly when will you return? Will it be less than 12 months?

Have you maintains a residence in the US?

What proof can you present to CBP to establish that your absence was intended to be temporary and you always planned to return to your permanent residence in the US?

If you have proof that you have maintained a residence in the US and proof that your employment abroad is temporary then you *should* be ok. But it is definitely something you need to concern yourself with.

No. 5 months.

Yeah. I'm thinking of going back to the U.S this Dec. and get a re-entry permit.
