I am submitting my I-751 in a day or two.

How long will the whole process take?

Will I be able to travel in about 6 months, if my application is not approved?

Thank you!

They are only 2 service centers now accept I-751 forms. If your center is Calicornia it wll take only 4 or 5 months. If its VT 10 to 12 month. After you send your application you will get an extension letter to extend your GC to one more year. That letter with your passport is enough to travel. Good luck.

Some take many months... Make sure you receive the Notice of Action from your application submission... That document acts as a one-year extention to your greencard and allows you to travel....

YMMV
