Hi,

For one trip only, how long can LPR (10yrs GC holder) stay outside United States and have no problem entering US? It is 6 months or a year?

Thanks

One year, though you may get more questions after 6 months; and be aware that absences of longer than 6 months reset the naturalization clock.

Also....I'd only do it once, and come back on a one-way ticket . They seem understanding that people need time to sort out affairs etc after they get their immigrant visa, less so if you keep on trying for long absences because you are actually living somewhere else,

There is no "timeframe" that will guarantee you will "have no problem entering US". What matters is that you maintain residence in the US. If you don't really live in the US, and just visit briefly, just making each absence below a certain "timeframe" is not enough.
