You should have received something by now. I suggest that you make an infopass at your local USCIS office and ask the officer what the status of your case is.

The process can take 7-10 months, on average.

In my experience it has taken between a few months to a year for USCIS to make a decision on a petition to remove conditions. However, you should have received a notice extending your conditional status and employment authorization to be used while the petition is pending.

There has recently been a long backlog for the I-751 processing. My office has been seeing delays of over a year. You may call USCIS in order to ascertain the status of your application but you are still within their current processing times.
