Assuming you do not apply for a reentry permit before you leave, the maximum stay is 1 year. If you apply for a reentry permit before you leave, the maximum stay is 2 years.

If you wish to stay longer than two years, you will need both a reentry permit and a returning resident visa. You must apply for the reentry permit before you depart the US. You don't necessarily need to receive it before you leave.
