Hey ktmdude, You just gotta see India, how much NRI has contributed to India. Most of the Nepalese living abroad has contributed many ways, like some invested in projects, sent money back home by keeping nepal's much needed forex, sponsoring many ways, sending money when disater takes place and many ways.... I think people in nepalnews were looking at cons side and not the pros side. In my point of view Nepal govt should give NRN status to nepalese living abroad cause they don't loose anything but only gain on many ways.
