Is anyone is going to nepal to get visa ..be careful.

What can it mean?

oohhhhh ya
ITs closed but what might be the reason?

Guess???????????

Hey thats what I heard. It's a very sad news because I know few people are waiting to apply for the summer semester. Actually, a very good friend of my mine was to apply soon and he is just frustrated by this news. Do you guys know any other way he could apply for student visa? His classes start around May 20th. Thanks.

That's too bad ... another way is to go to india but i heard in india you have to wait for coulple of month for visa date.

I hope this is just a temporary thing. It will be sad if they decide to close down permanently where Nepalese would be require to go to India to get a US Visa.

Following nearly a week of violence and three warnings by Washington to King Gyanendra in a week that went unheeded, the US embassy virtually dropped a bomb with the announcement.

'Due to ongoing violence, curfews and widespread insecurity in Nepal, the US mission is reducing its activities, including cancelling a planned visit Wednesday by an eight-member delegation from the US House of Representatives,' a statement issued by the US embassy said.

'In scaling back activities, the mission - including the embassy, USAID, and the Consular Section and American Center has gone to minimal staffing. The Consular Section and American Center Library have been closed until further notice.'

Nepal: A Message for the King

As a friend of Nepal, we must state that King Gyanendra's decision fourteen months ago to impose direct palace rule in Nepal has failed in every regard. The demonstrations, deaths, arrests, and Maoist attacks in the past few days have shown there is more insecurity, not less. The King's continuing failure to bring the parties back into a process to restore democracy has compounded the problem.

The United States calls upon the King to restore democracy immediately and to begin a dialogue with Nepal's constitutional political parties. It is time the King recognizes that this is the best way to deal with the Maoist insurgency and to return peace and prosperity to Nepal.

American embassy in Delhi should consider the Nepalese applicants for the time being. Contact them whether this is possible or not.

I think INdia must be very happy now... that's exactly india wants to happen - US embassy being closed in Nepal.. so that India willhave now better grip in Nepal... All these Gyane, Maoists and 7 paties are responsible for this... as I told you all, these three power hunger factions are actually being pieces of Chess moved by India!!!

Now wait for Nepali New Year Message of Gyane..... something gonna happen.... and whether you like it or not, Girija gonna be PM !!!
