If you have been outside the U.S. for one year or more, then the green card will be deemed to be automatically abandoned. On entry a CBP officer will either deny your entry or admit you but also revoke your green card.
For advice on filing for either an immigrant or non-immigrant visa feel free to contact me for a free consulation.

You may be able to enter the country. Were you out of the country due to being in the military? For further assistance, please contact my office at 1-800-408-5818.
