How long can you stay abroad with an AP ?

[Fabio]

I was thinking about that and I tried to find the answer over the FAQ and over the I-131 form, but i couldnt. Does anybody knows how long can i stay out of the USA with an AP? Thanks for the help...

Supposedly till the validity

of the AP, but you need a strong reason to be away from US, especially when you want to be a PR. Anything above 3 months will raise enquiry at the POE and anything above 6 months might cause problems . This is as expressed by an officer at POE while answering an AP holder\'s question about length of stay and not a legal or INS approved opinion.
