I do not think that you would have any problem based on what I read at USCIS site.


I am a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., can I leave the U.S. multiple times and return?

If you are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), you may leave the U.S. multiple times and reenter, as long as you do not intend to stay outside the U.S. for 1 year or more.

No, you won't have any problems at all so don't worry. The only time you will start to have problems is if you stay longer than 6 months.

Normally you will be fine as long as your trip is less than 6 months. The reason for this is that you should be spending at least 6 months out of every year in the US.

You should not encounter any trouble at all since you have your GC already, they may or not send you for secondary inspection. Like they did to me for staying 2 months in my home country but at that time I had my Advance Parole, not GC.  Always remember that having a GC does not guarantee that you will be admitted to.
