Re: Re-entry permit for green card holder
From the USCIS:
•Show that you have been physically present in the United States for at least 30 months out of the 5 years immediately preceding the date of filing Form N-400.
https://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/...ml#0-0-0-19579
(c) Disruption of continuity of residence
(1) Absence from the United States.
(i) For continuous periods of between six (6) months and one (1) year. Absences from the United States for continuous periods of between six (6) months and one (1) year during the periods for which continuous residence is required under § 316.2(a)(3) and (a)(6) shall disrupt the continuity of such residence for purposes of this part unless the applicant can establish otherwise to the satisfaction of the Service. This finding remains valid even if the applicant did not apply for or otherwise request a nonresident classification for tax purposes, did not document an abandonment of lawful permanent resident status, and is still considered a lawful permanent resident under immigration laws. The types of documentation which may establish that the applicant did not disrupt the continuity of his or her residence in the United States during an extended absence include, but are not limited to, evidence that during the absence: (Amended 9/24/93; 58 FR 49913)
(A) The applicant did not terminate his or her employment in the United States;
(B) The applicant's immediate family remained in the United States;
(C) The applicant retained full access to his or her United States abode; or
(D) The applicant did not obtain employment while abroad.

Since this thread will be read by all and sundry, your assumption is incorrect and thus the need to correct it for other posters.

Re: Re-entry permit for green card holder
BTW, if the one year conclusive break kicks in, the applicant needs to be back four years one day to apply (the minions of the dark forces assert that the 90 days for "early" filing does not apply. I think they are wrong, but "it's their football.")
