Hey guys, 

I haven't read anything for almost two years about what to do next. I don't know where to start. 

So my wife's green card will expire in November. When do we start the re-newel process? 

 

Would it be okay to go travel to the Philippines on September 11th and come back in October 2th with the green card expiring in November?

You are not renewing a green card.

 

You're lifting conditions and the process is literally called removal of conditions aka ROC.  Please check the guide for the form i751. The process currently takes about 15 months or longer. You can start it once the 90 day window before green card card expires starts.  When you file ROC your wife will receive an 18 months extension letter that will temporarily serve as her proof of legal status. 

 

Yes. You can travel.

ROC is easy but long process. Make sure to prepare lots of evidences of bonafide marriage, taxes and financial evidences are most valued. (Shared bills, loans, health insurance, mortgage, power of attorneys, wills, joint bank accounts).
