How much Time Gap allowed Between Packet 3 Received and 'Completed n Returned'?

Hi Team

I am a US citizen, planning to travel back to the States mid Sept. Since I was residing in India for the past 4 years, we didnt have any issues petitioning for our I 130. My main concern now is and maybe India DCF filers can help me here - If we receive our Packet 3 say in August but say we return it only in September, is that allowed or is there a time frame within which we need to submit it to Mumbai Consulate?

The reason why I might need that time is cos I will be sending my spouse my income statements from US and my US address and so on, as a requirement for our AOS to be provided by me.

My spouse has assets in India, which meet more than above the reqts specified on I 864. But I am not completely sure if that is sufficient to show for our assets -

As per travel.state.gov -

What can be used as assets?

Assets easily convertible to cash can be savings, stocks, bonds and property.

Can the immigrant visa applicant count assets that he or she owns that are outside the United States, such as real estate or personal property?

Yes, under the following conditions:

•The assets must be convertible to cash within 12 months Yes he can sell of his house within 12 months

•The applicant must show that the assets can be removed from the country where they are located. Many countries have limits on cash or liquid assets that can removed from the country

•The net value of assets is at least five times the difference between the sponsor's income and 125 percent of the poverty guideline for the household size. - True in our case

We dont have to keep our house on mortgage or somethin right? Please provide some light or guide us.

thanks!
