Yes while you were in US you had been petitioned for getting the green card you must be in US when it is issued. There is also the option of consular processing which is done while you are outside US.
Once the petition using Form I-130 is approved then the applicant can file for green card.

It is true that a green card is a permanent status that is issued in the U.S. It is not a visa to enter the U.S. However, technically, the green card itself may be processed and mailed while the foreigner is overseas. It is important to attend the green card interview in the U.S. and be approved. At the interview, the officer should approve permanent resident status and issue a notice of approval. After that point, the foreigner can travel abroad. That notice of approval may typically be used to reenter the U.S. while the actual green card is being physically processed.
