I just sent off my I-751 form on Monday and it got there on Wednesday. My husband and I usually go on vacation in August as that is when my birthday is. We always stay in the country, though. Is it too risky to book a vacation in August just in case I have to have an interview or something like that? I'm assuming from what I've read that it takes maybe 6 months at least from the time you file until the time of the interview but I just wanted to clarify.

What my wife and I have done through this process is avoid scheduling trips that could not be cancelled or changed whenever she had an active petition. Its easier to follow the path of least resistance with USCIS.

Csc takes about 6 months! VsC quite a bit longer. Be here at least for the biometrics and be prepared to change your flights if need be

Interviews for removing conditions are pretty rare.

Since you filed at Vermont Service Center, you may not hear anything back until next year. Go enjoy your summer vacation!
