Hi all,

I need some advice.

My asylum was granted in June 2010 and in same month I have filled I-730 for my wife who is in India.
In December 2011 NVC has forwarded approved petition to USCIS office in India.
My wife was interviewed in March 2012.

Last week I have sent them(USCIS in India) email to check the status of my wife's petition, they replied me back with:
"Please be advised that your case is pending for mandatory clearances from Department of State. We will keep you updated upon receipt of the necessary clearances."

I have few questions:
What are these mandatory clearances from Department of State?
What they do in that and how long it take to finish it?
How long will it take for my wife to come here?

It would be great if you can give me any suggestions and if you can share your experiences.

Thanks in advance.

The pilot procedures were jointly developed by USCIS and DOS in an effort to improve customer service and to provide greater consistency, efficiency, and security in the processing of these important humanitarian cases.

During this engagement USCIS will provide an update on the pilot and plans for future implementation. In addition, subject matter experts will be available to answer questions from stakeholders.
