Hello,
I think you might not have been aware of the processing times for I-751 (Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence). Depending on which processing center your petition was filed to it might take anywhere from 12 weeks to 41 weeks for USCIS to make a decision on your petition. In the meantime, you should contact an immigration attorney to find out how you can extend your green card status since your green card has expired.
All the best.
