In order to preserve your status as a permanent resident, you’ll have to enter the U.S. before the I-131 permit expires. Once it is expired you can apply for another one, if necessary, which would be valid for a further two years.
Those applying for re-entry permits who have been out of the U.S. for more than four of the last five years can apply for a permit with a validity of no more than one year.
