To apply for a reentry permit (valid for 2 years), an applicant must be IN the United States. You can't apply if you are abroad.

Please keep in mind that absence of one year or more can be viewed as abandonment of the permanent resident status in USA.

The children can simpy travel to USA before it's been more than 6 months and/or more than 1 year.

In addition, don't forget that as a permanent resident you are required to file taxes in USA with IRS every year, even if living abroad.
