My question?

i am a green card holder but i change my visa into a student visa now i'm leaving in the US for 2yrs that is the maximum lenght of having a student visa outside the US. Is there against the law to become a US citizen? Is that counted that the law saying that you must at least 5 yrs of permanent residence. But the law to become a US citizen must not leave outside the US not more than 12months.

Answer:
I hope that I understand your question and the law well enough to help.
1. You have been in the USA legally for some time but you are leaving to study abroad for 2 years.
2. You intend to become a citizen and a permanent resident of the USA.
If the above is the case, then I suggest that somehow you arrange to come back into the United States for 30 days near the end of the 1st year abroad. Maintain an address in the United States -- the same one you have now would be best -- throughout the entire two years. When you return at the end of the 2 years you should be two years closer to your citizenship. Be sure to maintain your visa and discuss this with an immigration officer. Good luck. Someone who wants to become a citizen through a legal means is welcome here.
