Green card does not get revoked automatically, it will go to court and before judge if the IO at the port of entry thinks you have abandoned you permanent status in the US, that is if you stay more than 1 year. If you stay less then 6 months , your clock to citizenship will not reset and no questions asked, if you stayed more than 6 months but less than 1 year, you will be asked few questions and if you have done it several times in the past to show as a pattern then the IO may refer your case to a judge based on your history of staying in Nepal permanently. Also, staying more than 6 months will reset your clock to citizenship. Meaning if you have stayed 4 years and 6 months and you stayed more than 6 months, then you have to start your 5 years of continuous residency.
as a green card, you can only file for your spouse or children, it sounds like your i30 has been approved and now they are waiting for your visa to be current so they can transfer the case to the state dept. If you were a citizen it could be quick, but being a pr now you have to wait. these are my personal opinion, not legal advise, i am not a lawyer or any one associated with immigration law.
