Hello, welcome to JustAnswer, my name isXXXXX you for this opportunity to answer your questions.
It will take 6-9 months to get the 2 year conditional card.
If you file all of these forms your TN status is not "extended" (because you are now an intending immigrant) HOWEVER you are allowed to legally remain in the US while the petition and application are pending.
Here is what you will need: Find instructions for each here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

Conditional Resident status is granted for 2 years. You and your spouse have to file a joint petition to remove this conditional status within 90 days of the 2nd anniversary date of the adjustment approval. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=745218a1f8b73210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=4ca43a4107083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD
within the 90 days preceeding the expiration of the 2 year status they have to jointly file for I-751 to remove the conditionnal status.
It will take up to 10 months for the conditional status to be removed.

What is difference 485 and 751?
The 485 gets the 2 year conditional status.
The 751 gets the 10 card.
