Hi:

You badly misunderstand the law of abandonment of LPR. Although the
length of time outside of the US can be an indicia of intent, it is NOT
the determinative factor.

I have a feeling you were being somewhat imprecise, but your question
reads as an inquiry as to whether or not your husband can abandon his
residence in the US for a few months and still keep his green card --
the answer to that is pretty much "no."

He is playing with fire here.
