Get GC and leave for one year

[Hannah7]

Hello,

I got my GC through lottery. Here is pattern of my trip:

September 1 - 2008 - arrived to US for activation
September 27 - 2008 - leave for STUDY abroad (university)

5 months absence

February 20 - 2009 - arrived to US for short stay
March 1 - 2009 - leave for STUDY again

5 months absence

August 10 - 2009 - return to the U.S. for good

I have only SSN, plastic green card, driving licence and bank account. I have no friends in the U.S. nor relatives (no real permanent address)

Is that safe pattern for me? Any problems?

Why dont you get a re-entry to avoid possible problems?

I didn't know about that. Now I don't have any permit. This is why I am trying to come before 6 months. Is it ok?
