To remove conditions you must send the application 90 days before the conditional GC expires

After you submit your packet, you get a biometrics appointment about 1 month after they received your packet (priority date or PD)

EAD is supposed to be within 90 days of your PD, in most cases it seems to be between 90-120 days, in a few cases longer (me)

Your 130/485 interview is about 6-12 months after your PD, depending on your field office, but could be longer if there are any RFEs, etc. If you pass you get the conditional GC or 10 yr GC. worth noting few people with 2016 PD are still waiting

After you apply to remove conditions, you get a 10 year GC

If you're still married to the same USC, you can apply for citizenship after 3 years from the date you received your first GC (after the interview, doesnt matter if it was conditional or 10 year)

I completely agree with you eRkah, if I may add it is advisable to send in your Removal of Conditions paperwork within the 90 day window before the expiration of the 2 year green card. I have seen people stress that it should NOT be earlier than 90 days if not the packet will be rejected and returned for filing too early. It is safer to apply when you are sure that you have at least reached day 90 prior to the expiry.

For citizenship you can also apply within the 90 day window prior to your 3rd year anniversary of being a permanent resident. I hope this helps.
