Well, as an asylee, on your greencard is 1 year before the actual date you are approved for the greencard. For example, I was approved for my greencard on 27 March 2006, but on the greencard it says that I am a permanent resident from 27 March 2005, because asylees' greencards are backdated 1 year (you get 1 year FREE). So, technically, you wait only 4 years from when your greencard is approved because you get the 5th year free. Make sense?
