Gains, why all the fuss about OPT and CPT? Arent you going back to Nepal too? Youre supposed to, as you have explained when getting the VISA. I dont see any reason why you should remain in the US not your origin country Nepal, where i am right now. Gians, I know our own country is so bad that most Nepalese are desperately leaving to migrate to other countries like the USA, cANADA, Australia, the Middle East and everywhere else where they can find employment and live permanently. Despite our backbreaking labor in the country, people can hardly make both ends meet. Parents think of leaving so they can earn more in other countries, and have their earnings reserved for the education of their children. They prefer to be away and earn much more, rather than earn the pittance wages here, and not be able to save for the future. I too love Nepal but we are wrong we did get help along the way from many different countries. The Shaha empire was great too but it did fall. If we do not stop the invasion of corrupted politicians then our empire will fall. If we do not quit trying to be PC and never offend some people then our empire will fall. The politicians must be held accountable for everything from allowing the degradation of morals to the waste of taxes. And IF we all young highly educated Nepalese dont go to Nepal after our completion of studies, and dont want to find the oppertunities to build it then we as a country are doomed. Always remember getting education from foreign universities bring respect when working in your own country. BTW rnmn, I am also a US Graduate from GeorgeTown Univiersity in DC alumni of 1998. I never thought of applying any h1's and GC, though i have a Nepali American born wife Sunita. I pursuade my wife give up the US citizen, and adopt Nepalese. Thanks for listening. Lest develop Nepal, make it heard and seen with development. DAKY
