My conditional greencard is expiring in March 2016. My daughter who is basd overseas is giving birth in January and is requesting me to be with her for at least 3 months. Meaning from January to March 2016.

Filing for request to remove conditions on residency is 90 days, can't file earlier than that.

We will file it this December 2015.

Can I travel outside the US after filing it or I need to wait for the confirmation/acknowledgement from USCIS as well as the notice of 1 year extension approval before I can leave ti ensure I will not have a problem coming bck?

Would appreciate a step by step guidance.

Once you file the I751, you get the confirmation which also serves as the 1yr extension letter. After that, you're scheduled for a biometrics appointment; which you have to go for. You can always request for the biometrics to be re-scheduled. But that's after you receive the appointment letter. If you're out of the country, how would you attend the biometrics appt or request a re-schedule?

You will need to have the extension letter with you along with your expired GC, so don't go before you have that.

As for the biometrics appointment, it seems that it is usually scheduled about 30 days after they receive your app for ROC.

So depending on when your window opens, you could file in December and have your letter in hand and finish biometrics before Jan ends. Just be aware of the possibility of getting an RFE and have a plan for handling that.
