    Re-enter as soon as possible before 1 year out and be ready to explain why you are out so long and your ties to the US.

    For leaving, again, no time required in the US, but the shorter the time, the more difficult your subsequent re-entry to the US as the CBP inspections officer sees your travel history and it looks more like you are living outside the US and only visiting here. Good luck.
