No it will not count against you. As long as you haven't been absent for more then 6 month and resided at least 50% of the time within US you are elligible to apply.

thnk you sir/ma'am for replying... but here's another question but first a little background/history...

i had my green card since 1999.. went home to my native land for school in 2005 and was there for 1yr 8 months, came back in june 2007.... i know i broke the 5 year eligibility and started from scratch... now im exactly 4 and 10 months...

i read somewhere that those whose has got the green card for over 5 years, you can't file 90 days before. Instead you have to wait until you have been in the US for at least 30 months during the past 5 years?? is this true??

What the 30 month really mean is that you have been physically present in the United States for at least 30 months out of the previous five years. It doesn't mean that you have to be presenet in the US for 30 consecutive month before filing.
