It depends on all of the facts. If you were abroad for 3 continuous years in the past 5 years, you are not even eligible.. if you broke up the 3 years with visits every few months, it may be no problem at all, depending on what years it took place.

Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Susan Pires
Your residency is based on the length of the marriage at the time of the approval of your residency. If you feel you received a CR in error, apply to have your card reissued. You should make an appointment at your local USCIS office to inquire prior to submitting any petition to correct and reissue a new card.

Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
Both your wife and sister can petition for you on form I-130, but your wife's petition will be processed much faster because the wait time for your sister's petition is currently about 12-13 years. Your wife will be required to filed an affidavit of support on your behalf if she is the petitioner, no matter where she lives or her employment status, but your sister can also do the same as a joint sponsor for you.
