You can stay out of the US for up to 6 months with no consequence, as long as the person has a vaild green card and passport. Over 6 months contact with the US consulate is needed and the green card holder can stay out of the country for up to a year. Over a year the green card holder will forfeit their green card and not be allowed to re-enter the country.
The US permanent resident CAN stay out of the country for more than a year if they apply for and are granted a re-entry permit by USCIS prior to leaving the country. However, for a PR to become a citizen, he/she must have 5 years of continuous residency and staying abroad for more than a year will typically break it regardless of whether a re-entry permit is issued/used.
But this above doesn't count if you only have been for a month...you have to show perminant residency like having paid utility bills, car ins., tax returns. You have no chance if you keep traveling in and out and showing not to be a perminent residence. You might end up being denied access at the border and that will be a waste of all your cost and efford to obtain the greencard. If your wife doesn't join you immediately than she has to aply after 5 years if you become a citizen otherwise she won't get a greencard.
The green card is made for people who have made up their mind...I understand that it is a huge step to move to another country but that is what the greencard lotery is for. People who really want to be here. IMO you are smart not to go head over heals to America and give up all you have in your home country and loose money. I read on other websites about people traveling in and out but that is more after being here for 5 years of showing you have been a perminent residence. For sure you have to be more in the US than in your own country. If you want more reassurence call USCIS and ask them.
Good luck and your question is why a large percentage never goes any further with their application and if you wouldn't have asked and got the GC and started to do what you are planning to do it can cost you excess into this country for not keeping up to the GC rule.
Same problem for me... NL in hand but no record on the Web.
Hello Askan78,
Do you still face the same error?
Have you called or emailed the KCC?

Dear Selectee,
Based on the information and confirmation number provided, you should have received a letter by mail from the United States Department of State’s Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) notifying you that your Diversity Visa entry was selected in the DV-2010 lottery.
If you have not received a letter instructing you how to proceed by August 1, 2009, please contact KCC by email at kccdv@state.gov.
Please remember that you do not have to pay until you apply for a visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy. The U.S. government will not ask you to send money by mail or by courier service.
Still the same thing... I hav e-mailed them. They are colse until Monday.
