Best Answer

Green card holders can travel abroad for a maximum period of 180 days on each trip. If you need to stay outside longer for employment or religious purposes you should apply for reentry permit using the Form I-131 travel document which is valid for 2 years. Also you can use the Form N-470 meanwhile to preserve residence for naturalization process.

If a green card holder has to stay outside US for more than a year he/she should apply for reentry permit and get it approved before leaving US. With this reentry permit the green card holder can enter US again. The permit is valid for 2 years.

How many times you can renew your green card's?

Until and unless you want to stay in US with a valid status you need to renew your green card.Once you get your green card you need to renew it every decade to make sure your stay in US is legal. After minimum 5 years as a green card holder in US if you are eligible you should apply for US citizenship. Once you become a US citizen you need not renew green card since only after you submit your green card in return you would get the naturalization certificate as proof of citizenship in US after all procedure and oath taking.
