  1. When I was in the interview room waiting for my turn for US visa, in kathmandu, there was an old lady who was being interviewed. She was alone, widow, and her daughter and son in law were in US. Her daughter sponsered her and sent necessary paper. The interviewer asked where in America did her daughter live. The lady could not answer. She just said "America ma ho bhanthe. Aru ta thaha chhaina." She was denied as the interviewer said how can she go to US when she doesn't even know where her daughter stays. This is just one of the situations, there are a number of visa denials for such people, where you think there are all the chances of getting a visa. I believe if you are planning to call your parents to USA, educating them on simple things might avoid a number of denials. First of all, getting the form filled with someone who knows it very well is a good thing. Even you can fill it from here, send it to somebody's email in Nepal and ask for getting it printed. You can tell them where you stay (name of the place), and which part of US is it, east west or central. If they may be confused, probably they can't travel alone. so you have to tell them to explain the interviewer that they don't know exactly which place, but somebody else is travelling with them and he/she knows about it. Getting the necessary papers ready and well organized is another good thing to do. Its better to get the visa the first time. It will avoid all the hassles and expenses that you will have to make again for applying the second time. If you have anything more to contribute about tips on US visa, or useful experiences, please feel free to write down as a reply.
  2. I forgot who wrote it, but I still remember two lines of a poem, which goes something like the following: "Sansarle kati pragati garisakyo, piyee sakyo brahmmandai tantani, Haamro baahun ajhai makkha chha chhami tuppi, janai, kandhani". I don't mean to say brahmins are bad, or that is not the topic of discussion, I don't mean to offend any brahmin at all, and I myself am a brahmin. Instead, its about "Ethics". I don't want to lenghthen this topic with nonsense arguements. But some people seem to argue with some nonsense points. They need to learn something. If you think something is right or wrong, it has to be justified by common sense, you know. Some people don't seem to distinguish between "information" and "advertisement". taking some useful info as "advertisement" and that to be aversive. I think this topic has been too long on nonsense things and I will put similar topic elsewhere.
  3. You can put your info if you want. I hope everybody will be glad to know about you, and that they can contact you when they need you. I would be happy for you if you get some client. I would be happy for anybody gaining something when I am losing nothing for that.
  4. Ok I got another one. This is "Association of Nepalese Lawyers in the US". http://anlus.wordpress.com/. You can find members/lawyers, and their addresses.
  5. Thanks for the info. I searched "Chettri law" & then "chettri law", and found a lawyer named khagendra gc, and then googled his name and found "http://www.chhetrylaw.com/". Thanks for the info.
  6. I think I made a mistake. The topic started was about country georgia, and not georgia, US. My reply was about US. Sorry about that.
  7. Well, I am not a lawyer, I am a Doctor. Its inherent in Nepali minds always thinking negative things. Maybe thats one of the reason we are lagging behind. Have you seen any other community pulling each others legs like we do? What I believe is we can move forward by helping each other, being of some use to each other. It will reduce a lot of cost and effort to move forward. Thinking positive is the key. Even if somebody Nepali does some marketing in these kind of forums, I would feel good knowing about it. Because advertising not only helps him, but helps others too, by letting them knowing something of that kind exists. Man, you need to learn to think positive.
  8. yes after some time, all the brain cells are dead. Thats even better. No brain, No tension.
  9. (This is modified from a reply by me to a similar topic in this forum) Medicine has a lot of branches. Usually Studying Medicine means studying MBBS in Nepal. I am limiting myself to that. First of all you need to understand the medical system here in US. To be an MBBS equivalent here, you need to pass class 12, then go to 4 years of Pre-med, then 4 years of Medical School. So its altogether 8 years AFTER I. Sc. or class 12 in Nepal. The degree awarded here after those 8 years is called MD. Please note here that this is NOT the same as MD in Nepal. It is actually MBBS equivalent. I have known some ed. consultancies in Kathmandu fooling prospective students, telling that you will be a MD after 8 years. But thats actually MBBS equivalent. To become as a MD in Nepal, ie, a physician, or surgeon, or orthopedician or whatever field you like, you need to do "Residency training". It is called Postgraduate training here. Its only after completion of such training and passing of necessary exams, you become fully independent Physician or Surgeon. The period of such residency training varies according to the subject. eg. 3 years in Internal Medicine, 5 years in general surgery (In Nepal, its only 3 years in general surgery too). Now about the cost, the pre-med cost is an average cost like that of other subject, not very different. And you can work while you study. But the cost of medical school (that is the second 4 years of those 8 years), is about 20,000 dollars per year, even more in some places. This is why many people here, especially indians (NRIs) send their children to study medicine in India, or Nepal, or carribean countries, where the cost is much cheaper. And another thing, you cannot work while you are in medical school, as it is a full time study. So you can't even think about paying by yourself by working while studying. That is why the American Medical Graduates have a lot of credit by the time they finish their medical school. But nonetheless, you get paid in your "Residency training" (but not a huge amount). There are some advantages of studying medicine here in US. You will be preferred over international medical graduates (those who study outside US), in almost all subjects of residency training, like orthopedics, ophthalmology, radiology etc. So if you or your parents can afford, and you want to stay here in future, its good to study here. you may even seek for credit help during your study. but its difficult to get loan for international students. Just think why a certain number of people residing in US prefer to send their children to medical school outside US. But nonetheless, who can afford it here, prefer to educate their children here. and I have known quite a few Nepali who have done their medical school here and are either doing residency, or have even completed residency and are working. But its all thanks to their parents who could afford the expenses. Oh its been a long one. Hope it will help whoever is interested in studying Medicine, or want a future medical career in US. Bye.
  10. Hi all, http://www.midas.com.np/mita/index.php This company, Midas Technologies, situated in Min Bhawan, Kathmandu, has come up with a lot of educational CDs. I saw their CDs in one of the CAN infotech in BICC, Kathmandu. I liked them instantly. Since then I use their CDs to teach my son Ka Kha. I think its a whole new concept, and my son is learning them fast too. he likes the games of letter, and color & shape matching. I don't know if it is available in US. You need to ask them for that. But in Nepal its available in about 250 Rs. They told me they have made CDs for school children, according to the grades, and in accordance with Nepal's educational curriculum.
  11. Hi all, Just checkout this link. I don't know how much helpful it is, but this is put up by a Nepalese, who is determined to help those who have probelms with h4 visa status (H4 are not allowed to work). http://www.h4help.org/jjj/ Caution: I have just went through some pages, but have not checked the site fully.
  12. Hi all, As we all know, we need lawyers, or attorneys, in various aspects of our stay in US. So I searched the net and found there are a lot of lawyers of Nepali origin working in the US. So I was just thinking it could be very useful for fellow Nepalese to get a lawyer who is a Nepali and can understand their problem better. And also he is paying to a fellow Nepalese. On the other hand, the Nepalese lawyers (and their firm) are getting Nepalese customers too. I have known Nepalis who have wasted their money on pakistani and indian lawyers, they were cheap but could not help because they were not fully competent perhaps. and later literally robbed by american lawyer who was competent enough to get their work done, but charged heavily. So if anybody is in personal contact with those Nepali lawyers, or can contact them may make up a portal (like an interactive website), where nepalis seeking legal help can contact, discuss or get help from those lawyers.
  13. Hi all, If you are planning to come to US, or have recently come to US, then this book might be useful to you. http://www.anmausa.org/resources/anmahandbook.pdf This was published on their site by Association of Nepalese in Midwest America. Feel free to use it and share it with anyone you know could make use of it. Don't forget to thank those who made effort in making the book. Its nothing to do with me by the way.
  14. I don't know if somebody is joking. and also depends on what do you mean by studying "Medicine". Medicine has a lot of branches. Usually Studying Medicine means studying MBBS in Nepal. If you are planning to study a MBBS equivalent here in US, its not possible with 1000 or 1500 USD per year. Thats for sure. First of all you need to understand the medical system here in US. To be an MBBS equivalent here, you need to pass class 12, then go to 4 years of Pre-med, then 4 years of Medical School. So its altogether 8 years AFTER I. Sc. or class 12 in Nepal.
