Reapplying for Green Card after abandonment

I have read many experiences and comments regarding abandoning green card due to inability to stay in the US, but not a lot of information and reapplying later. Is it considered a strike against you if you do that? Could it become an issue in the process and prevent you from getting a new immigrant visa/green card? PLEASE HELP if you know anything about this. This situation will determine if my family needs to break up right now.
 
You can reapply without a problem if you are eligible. The problem is that most people wouldn't have eligibility to reapply if they left. For example, someone gets a GC through an employer. They surrender the GC, and then want to return years later. They might never be able to find another employer willing to sponsor them, and they might not have family in the US who is eligible to sponsor them either.
 
Apart from what Jack said, it might also depend on how you abandoned the GC. If you were forced to abandon due to not residing in US, you might still be eligible but they might ask you a whole lot of questions.
