You are trying to use your American mind in Nepali context and it won't work. In Nepal they do the always have laws, even if it's written in law it won't be implemented or you fight court case for ages. You/we want a clear cut law like in usa bit Nepal is Nepal. In Nepal they don't know the difference between a green card and foreign citizenship. They think all gc holders have left Nepal and are foreigners. Even worse than foreigners some think of us as trators and posers. I tried to open a bank acct in Nepal and I am only a gc here but they gave me such hard time. I was asked to show my Nepali pay stub ,voters Id etc etc I when told them I was living in foreign I was asked to produce other documents as if I was a foreigner.
