If someone travels to his country upon being granted asylum, that person may no longer be suffering persecution in his home country. On this ground, his green card may be revoked.

This does not mean that a person should be imprisoned to American territory upon being asylum. Right to travel outside the country of your residence is a part of human right. In order to cross border, one needs a passport. An asylum is not eligible to get a US passport because he is not a US citizen.

Unless there is a law in the Nepal’s book stating that a person loses Nepali citizenship upon seeking asylum (or upon being granted asylum), that person’s Nepali citizenship continues to be in good standing. Not issuing, renewing or validating Nepali passport to a bona fide Nepali citizen is a violation of law. Until a person’s Nepali citizenship is in good standing (in this case, it is) that person should have, as a part of his fundamental right, ability to retain, maintain, and extend (or renew) his Nepali passport.

Whether or not that person needs a Nepali passport is a moot question. Does each Nepali need a passport? If you intend to travel to other countries (or cross the border); you will need. A passport is also considered a proof of citizenship. Those who believe that a person granted asylum should not be allowed to renew it, should voice his or her opinion to Nepali legislators to have Nepali law amended. In a country where legislators can’t come to agreement in formulation constitution for decades (remember, constitution is main law of a country), good luck with that. If you believe some of your friends, relatives, or acquaintances has been granted asylum, chill out, and continue to be hopeful that the adjudicating officers have done a thorough job prior to granting that status. Again please, chill out.
