hi

 

no, you can only file 90 prior the expiration date, so the earliest will be late August

 

you will receive an extension letter for 18 months, with the extension letter and the expired GC you can travel

If you file before your 90 days window, your application will be denied.

They will reject your petition and hopefully return it, and all of your papers and evidence back to you. You can then send it to them at the proper time, when your 90-day ROC petition acceptance window opens.

 

The Form I-751 instructions are pretty clear: "Filing jointly. If you are filing this petition jointly with your spouse, you must file it during the 90-day period immediately before your conditional residence expires."

Good luck on your immigration journey.

No, it’s a bad idea.  DO NOT FILE in June!

Wait until July 12th and file then. 

And don’t worry about overseas travel in December - if you file in July or August - you’ll get Notice Of Action letter within 2 months and that letter automatically extends your green card for another year. You’ll be able to travel overseas with an expired green card and that letter without any issues. 

Good luck!

90 prior to October 12 is July 14

July 14 is the start of the 90-day filing window...but that's a Sunday so Monday 15, July, 2019 is your opening day.
