 You can apply for MRP any time you like. 
The processing time is around 2-3 months. You need to ship or drop your old passport (and/or Nepalese citizenship card) and application along with fee to Nepalese Embassy. They will send it back to nepal for new passport and will ship back to you once they receive. 

You will get both passports back. 
No information regarding existing visas will be transferred from one passport to another. Hence you need to carry both passport if you are travelling out of US. 

If you are from Tri-state (new york/new jersey/connecticut), you can apply for MRP at Nepal Consulate in new york. For all other states I guess Embassy at DC is the only option.
