I have a Green Card. I recently stayed outside the US for 5 months. How long do I need to stay in the US before I can travel out of country again? Thanks for your time

I have a similar question for my mother who has a GC. She travelled to India from Sept 7 2022 to Jan 5 2023. How long does she need to stay in USA before traveling again? Need to attend an event in India in mid-June.

There is no published hard rule as to how long you need to stay in USA between visits.

At the POE you'll be asked about the time you've spent outside USA - as long as you satisfy the officer that your visit outside USA was temporary (<6 months) & even if you were outside, you're still maintaining your USA home/lease/job etc & paying bills/submitting tax returns etc. You are fine.
