Hello,

I got married in Nepal 2 years ago. I'm a US citizen. We have already registered our marriage in a ward office and have had a kid since then. Nothing else has been done ever since. But now that we've decided to move back to the US, I'd like to start the process.

I contacted the consulate office in Kathmandu and they advised me to take "Affidavit of eligibility to Marry" from the embassy, pay notarial fee, register the marriage at the district court etc.

Are those really required? I'm kinda lost. Plz advise.
