1. Is there anyway that we can schedule an interview appointment online? When i look online at US embassy website of Nepal, it says that we have to deposit some $160 in nabil bank along with the attached confirmation page? My plan is to schedule an interview in 1/2 days i reached there so that i have enought time if delayed.
 
  - you can only fill online form but cannot take appointment online. To take appointment you can do it only through the Nabil bank in front of American embassy.
- you can however send someone with your documents and pay the fees and get the confirmation page / appointment.
- early appointment is needed for embassies where there is a huge queue. In peak time like this where there are maximum no of F1 , GC, visitor visa etc, in KTM embassy the wait time is 2 or 3 days. So it's not a big deal to get the date.

@sirus_me bro, I also feared the same and wanted to get early date so that if there is any delay there is enough cushion. If you have full time job then you should not worry( I suggest ).

2. How early can we ask for PIMS verification? What is the email that we need to send?  I dont know about PIMS verification. It never bothered me. But you can always email embassy and ask if it is needed. They do reply in a day or two.

3. Tax bhareko W2 form h1b huda ko matra pataune ho ki pahila college paddako pani pataune ho. Pahile samajik use gariyo so hope pahila ko W2 chahidine hola :-()

@Birey: Same tax question goes to you as well. Pahila college huda ko chahincha ra???

-> Compulsory - W2 and tax return forms that you have paid all taxes ONLY after you got H1B , before that might not matter and they would not care, but they do look everything carefully of all tax documents that are after your H1B became active. So I guess you need not worry about college W2s and college tax returns. I had it so i kept it but I was asked only from the taxes I paid when I was in H1B. It actually helped, after seeing that I have paid taxes for the whole year the interview questions suddenly started becoming positive :).
