It typically takes USCIS 90 days or more to make a decision on a reentry permit. For that reason, USCIS says that you should apply well in advance of your travel -- at the very latest, 60 days before you depart. You can check the status of USCIS's processing of your permit on the USCIS My Case Status Web page.
If your trip will last longer than one year, you should apply for a reentry permit on Form I-131 prior to leaving the U.S. (and pay the filing fee). It is no guarantee that you will be permitted to enter, but it helps you establish your intention to permanently reside in the United States.
