As long as he/she wants! However you may create an obstacle to becoming a citizen if you are gone more than 6 months per year. If you have not received a "green card" you will have to obtain "Advance Parole". See website noted in answer 2 and find "forms" for this document. Also see: http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/M-480.pdf

for a simple official worksheet of basic requirements for citizenship.

A Conditional Permanent Resident is issued a card valid for two years. In order to remain a Permanent Resident, you must file a petition to remove the condition during the 90 days before the card expires. The condition must be removed or you lose your permanent resident status The card is valid for readmission to the United States if the trip was not greater than one year in length. If a trip will last longer than one year, a reentry permit is needed. see site: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis
