X-Men #32 takes place pretty quickly, and appears to be very shortly after Fall of the House of X #2. (It also seems to be fairly soon after Magik has returned from Realm of X, but she could've been lying low for a while.)
This is weird. Illyana says that she looked for the X-Men everywhere but apparently she never checked the Limbo Embassy or the Hellfire Club, which would have been the two most obvious places to ask for information. And in this week's X-Men Unlimited Infinity 129, Dani seems to have made contact with Sunspot AT LEAST a few days ago and it has to take place before Fall of the House of X because Remy hasn't shaved his beard in Unlimited 129 but he has shaved it in Fall of the House of X. (More on that below.)
Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace #1 is at the beginning of Kamala's school year (after her summer internship in the previous mini). Logan and Deadpool are both living in the Morlock tunnels, so this is presumably after the Latveria mission. I think we're going to have to consider the recent Thanksgiving and Christmas scenes in Invincible Iron Man topical references...
It's not clear that Logan IS living in the Morlock tunnels. If we're assuming that X-Men 30 takes place before the Latverian mission, then the Latverian mission leads into X-Men 31, which takes place during House of X. There's no room for the Ms. Marvel series to take place.
It's possible Wolverine was just visiting to coordinate X-Force's and the X-Men's activity. If you look at X-Men 28, Logan doesn't say this is the first time he's seen Kamala since the Gala- all he does is comment on Kate looking like Ogun. And Kate is nowhere in Ms. Marvel Mutant Menace 1.
Speaking of which, one weird thing about this issue is that Rogue appears in the hairstyle and costume she got in Uncanny Avengers 5. But one of the people at the mosque says of the massacre at the Gala "We don't know the whole story. The mutants haven't told their side of it." The Kingpin told Ben Urich what happened at the Gala in Uncanny Avengers 4 and it was published in Uncanny Avengers 5. So judging by Rogue's costume, this takes place after Uncanny Avengers 5 and judging by the fact that no one seems to have read Ben's story, it takes place before Uncanny Avengers 5.
One odd thing about this issue is that Logan's appearance should definitely take place after X-Force 47. But Phoebe was found in that issue. Even if Logan was just visiting, you'd think he'd ask one of the heroes to let Emma know Phoebe was alive. But Emma hasn't shown any reaction yet.
Storm is in Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic #93, continuing that serial; no additional placement indicators. X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #129 continues the ongoing storyline that looks like it's going to stretch until the end of the Krakoan era, and ties up the loose end of the "secret business" that Sunspot was up to during the Gala.
X-Men Unlimited infinity 129 takes place in between Dark X-Men 5 and Fall of the House of X 1, since Remy and Feint don't seem to be part of the Dark X-Men but Remy hasn't shaved his beard like he has in Fall of the House of X 1.
Note that Sunspot is on Earth. It's unclear how he got there- we don't know how the X-Men are planning on getting the mutants from Mars to Earth, since the "ships" turned out to be fake. Now you'd think he wouldn't risk traveling by to Earth too far ahead of the invasion, since the entire plan depends on Orchis thinking the only way the mutants can get from Mars to Earth is via Tony's spaceships. On the other hand, it's possible he felt he had to risk it because the danger to innocent mutants was so great.
