More details to this question:
I recieved my permenant resident card in 2003. I got it through my parents as I was under 18 at that point. However during the first 5 years uptill 2008 I had trips exceeding 6 months but not more than a year. During the last 5 years however i have been in this country and meet continous residency requirments. I attended college here and currently have been working here as well. I am wondering if the first 5 years will cause any issues?

Hello. If you have not taken 6 month trips in the last 5 years and been here for 2.5 years total in the 5 years, you should qualify. They cannot count the 6 month trips prior to 5 years ago (unless they were over a year). I feel you will be fine.
