ALL Nepali are Like "Veda". They listen to many people, when none of us know the real underlying truth, They Make assumptions and offcourse...it will start from a small "til ko gayda, and end ups with sagarmatha"

My one frd used to say--"One ear, two ear, field"

Neplai ma " 1 kan, 2 kan, Maidan"

For me , i am here since 2000 and from last four years i am filling my taxes, and receving some handsome money from my tax returns. I am a F- 1 student. Within 5 year period I went 3 times outside United States, 2 times NEPAL and last time to Mexcio. I never had a issue at port, neither they asked me or inquired me anything? The first time even i dropped semester, and stayed 3 months back in nepal. Got OPT during assocaite also and worked for 1 year without going college in US. Got Bachelors this year and Got OPT also again and recently working too. Thinking of extending MY OPT for 17 months more. Applied for H1-B too(hoopefully i might get luckY) SO whether u work on not , ur not illegal, U r just breaking US law and this is very common. Make sure U file ur tax at the end of the year if u work on cheque, otherwise might IRS on door one day.  I heard this filling of tax is helpful for u when u file ur greencard and many of us know it helps in credit history too. So RELAX!!!! don do any harm to US, don't break any Tough law and don't leave in any of illegal activity. FInally Most important, STAY in STATUS STATUS< STATUS>

A problem AIN't A "PROBLEM", if it can be solved
