Hello my 5 years of time period living in USA will be on 07/01/2016 so that means I can apply prior to 90 days of that day so my question is
I live in back home for 3 months in 2015
Now I am going back again for 2 month in next month so uscis will deduct this time or I am ok with it.
Waiting for your response thank you
 
"Continuous residence" is generally only interrupted by absences of 6 months. Such short trips do not affect it. (And if continuous residence is interrupted, you would have to start over from 0; you don't "deduct" it.) Time away from the US is deducted from "physical presence", but you only need half the time in physical presence, i.e. if you are applying under the 5-year rule, you only need 2.5 years of physical presence, which you more than satisfy by a lot.
