Expiring Green card and Schengen Visa

I am in a race condition.

I am making plans to travel to europe ~July 15 - August 15.

Green card expires early september 10th.

I am aware I can apply Schengen visa with I751 receipt notice. But ...

So can't apply I-751 until June 10th (90 days before expiry date of GC).

Option 1:

Wait till I get receipt notice for I-751, then apply Schengen visa around June 15th. I am afraid that might be leaving things for too late and might not get my passport back by my travel date.

Option 2:

Apply Schengen visa with proof that I will travel back to my country of citizenship after August 15th.

Which one would you all suggest is a safer way?
