As usual, there are countless immigration topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll do the same in my answers!
If you have been outside the U.S. for 2 years without having obtained a reentry permit, then you could be considered to have abandoned your green card. But all isn't necessarily lost. The ability to keep your green card will depend largely on the reason that you were outside the U.S. for 2 years and likely will require you to apply for a returning resident visa.
