It's called Removal of Conditions. Here is the link to the guide... http://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide

The earliest to file is 90 days before your current GC expires. The evidence you need is evidence of bonafied marriage and comingling of finances.

Just make sure that when you do file, use the I-751 form from USCIS.gov

I made the mistake of using the one from the guide, and it was out of date so they sent my application back

We are just wrapping up our ROC submission to be sent out today or tomorrow. We found this pinned thread very helpful while in the Conditional Status. I would advise reviewing the list of information particularly in the cover letter of the first post and start collecting the information you will need. Just as an example, our submission measures out at over an inch thick with all the additional evidence of our relationship. From what I hear, USCIS expects to see a lot of a bonafide relationship, so start collecting now and don't wait for the 90 day window to gather all the information. Mark your calendar for the first day you can file and set a goal to have the package ready to submit soon after that date.

Beyond that, review the guide as already posted.

Good Luck!
