How long a green card holder can stay outside us?

Answer 1

You can stay out of the US for up to 6 months with no consequence, as long as the person has a vaild green card and passport. Over 6 months contact with the US consulate is needed and the green card holder can stay out of the country for up to a year. Over a year the green card holder will forfeit their green card and not be allowed to re-enter the country. * The US permanent resident CAN stay out of the country for more than a year if they apply for and are granted a re-entry permit by USCIS prior to leaving the country. However, for a PR to become a citizen, he/she must have 5 years of continuous residency and staying abroad for more than a year will typically break it regardless of whether a re-entry permit is issued/used.

Answer 2

If the permanent resident is absent from the US for more than 12 months but less than 24 months they are required to obtain a reentry permit. If more than 24 months permanent resident status is subject to revocation.

Answer 3

As a US citizen you can stay outside US as long as you want to after becoming a US citizen. Unless and until you commit any serious crimes which would affect US safety your citizenship will not be revoked. While you stay outside US you should file tax returns and abide with the law as a US citizen and also follow the rules of country you have moved to and intend to stay in.
