Staying outside the U.S. for more than six months

[julian david 0]

I came to the U.S. with my mom four and half years ago when she married an American. I received my green card two and half years ago. I simply would like to know if I could do anything to stay outside the U.S without losing my residency. If there is a possibility, for how long can it be?

Thanks for any information.

hi

less than a year, the GC is for living in the US

now if you want to study in your country, then you can get a reentry permit to stay out of the US for up to 2 years

but eventually you need to return to live here or you will end up loosing your GC

Thanks for replying. I don't know what GC is, please tell me. Do you have more information about this? Like price and process?
