Can green card renewal be denied if you don't spend enough time in the US?

My uncle sponsored his wife and kids to the US and they all came here about ten years ago. Once they got here, the younger kids got US passports but his eldest daughter and wife still only have a green card. After a couple of months of staying here, he couldn't afford to keep them in the US so he sent them back to our home country. Ever since, his wife and oldest daughter come here for two weeks to one month every year to maintain their green card. They've been doing this for nearly ten years and their green cards are going to expire next year.

He's asked for my help in filling out the renewal applications, but I'm afraid that their renewals will be denied because they've spent a total of eight months in the US in the last ten years. If the renewals are denied, I don't want to get blamed for messing up the application or something. What are the chances they'll be denied for not meeting residency requirements?

Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
