She stayed in US for 183 days between Nov 9 2007-Nov 8 2008

She stayed for 90 days between Nov 9 2008- Nov 8 2009.

You are putting your family in very high risk of losing their GC. The fact is, there are no clear cut guidelines as to how long is too long to be out of the US on GC. Once the border officer feels you have neglected to establish residency in the US, they can revoke your GC. In my opinion, even if they returned today, there is a high risk of the border officer revoking their GC if they do not have proof they have intention to keep their residency in the US.

I would strongly recommend finding a lawyer who can advise you.
