Can you travel outside internationally for 4 continuous months outside the US on a conditional green card without applying for Re-entry permit or advance parole?

Also, if yes is it recommended to carry tax documents and utility bills?


Thanks!

achill, See if this info. helps. ( From USCIS WEB. )

Abandoning Permanent Resident Status

You may be found to have abandoned your permanent resident status if you:

Move to another country intending to live there permanently
Remain outside of the United States for more than 1 year without obtaining a reentry permit or returning resident visa. However, in determining whether your status has been abandoned, any length of absence from the United States may be considered, even if less than 1 year
Remain outside of the United States for more than 2 years after issuance of a reentry permit without obtaining a returning resident visa. However, in determining whether your status has been abandoned any length of absence from the United States may be considered, even if less than 1 year
Fail to file income tax returns while living outside of the United States for any period
Declare yourself a “nonimmigrant” on your tax returns
 
4 months should be fine, especially if the trip is just for a holiday or something else NOT relating to working abroad. And, carrying evidence is always good.

Yes, assuming of course your conditional GC does not expire while you're overseas.
