Like others said, if it's an immigrant visa then just get onto the first plane to US, have them stamp it on entry, and you can walk from arrivals back to departures and leave and have 1 year to return.

 

If you need more time then you'll need to stick around long enough to file an I-131 for a re-entry permit, do biometrics, (denote that you want the permit sent to a consulate or DHS office abroad on the I-131), and leave for up to 2 years.

Okay thanks..😊

Definitely file the I-131.  Starting your status as an LPR who spends more time outside the USA than inside the USA can cause problems when you return to the USA. Filing I-131 is strong evidence that you didn’t abandon your status.
