What happens to my application(1-90 to renew a green card) if I left two questions unanswered? How long does it take to renew GC

You should contact the national customer service center as the case would appear to be outside the normal processing time. While you await your card, you could make an infopass appointment and ask the CIS officer to stamp your passport or provide you with a temp I-551.

Green card

The primary fact that is missing from your question is whether or not you are a permanent resident or a U.S. citizen. If you are the latter, then I generally quote about 4-5 months in processing the I-130 for your immediate relative petition and about 8-10 weeks to secure and attend the consular interview. If you are not a U.S. citizen, then there is a wait time before your approved visa petition can be set for interview. It would be considered a preference category petition and therefore be...

Conditional Green Card expired

There is a chance you've been ordered removed in your absence. When the conditions on permanent residence are not removed, DHS terminates the status of the alien and initiates removal proceedings. It is possible that DHS issued a Notice to Appear and you did not receive it and then the immigration judge ordered you removed in your absence. Hire a lawyer to confirm. As to the late filing an I-751, there is a method to do such. You will need to show good cause and exceptional circumstances...
