Answer:
If you have a Green Card, you may lose it after remaining outside of the U.S. for more than 6 months.

"Travel: Once you are a permanent resident, travel is generally not a problem, provided you have a valid passport from your country of citizenship and your Permanent Resident card. Currently, USCIS is issuing permanent residence cards for 10 year periods. You must renew this card before the expiration date.
"If you plan to remain outside of the U.S. for a period of more than six months, it is necessary to obtain a reentry permit before leaving the country. Application for a reentry permit is made using Form I-131 Advance Parole travel document.
"If you must remain outside the U.S. for extended periods of time, please note that obtaining a reentry permit or making a return trip to the U.S. once or twice a year for a few weeks will not be enough to maintain permanent resident status. USCIS examines the reasons for the extended absence, the individual's intentions, and other factors establishing the person's ties to the U.S."
