The land an embassy stands on, is considered legally to be a territory of the country it represents. The Nepalese Embassy holds that thought quite true..coz the way they operate seems as if they have the workings of a government office back home and not the proper standardization of a one that represents our nation here in the US.

i lost my passport once...as due process...i sent em' all the required docments....the application for a new passport along with copies of my old passport, my nepalese citizenship..a police report...evrything...

3/4 months later i get a call from the embassy..and from the tone he was speaking to me...the "Hakim" saab seemed to be interested in interrogating me...

He asked me the usual stuff name..address back home..dad/mom name...citizen ship no..etc..which are all reasonable...to verify my identity..no complains there...

then he went to ask me more..and he did not do this in a very firendly tone..he was rather rude..
he asked me questions like where i lived...who i lived with...what the names of the friends i lived with were..if i worked..if the friends i lived with worked..where i worked..where my friends worked....!!!##???!!

i am there thinking...what the F does all this have to do with me getting a new passport??

but that's not all..at the end of the conversation he advised me that my case would be on review and that it would be a few more months before they verified more intel from back home ..

soon i meet a Nepali brother...apparently, it seems he has a relative working at the embassy...i tell him about my problem..he make s a phone call...i get my passport in a week..BAAM-just like that!!!.....without his help..i wonder how long it would have been before i'd get a passport.

So yeah, in traditon of the way a Nepalese administrative body works, i say they are quite efficient...
