I am applying for the student visa this December.Why should Nabil recommend a photo studio if an applicant fulfills all the photo requirements stated by US embassy?If Nabil does not know the requirements stated by embassy,then it goes like: Photographs must show the subject’s full face, from the crown of the head to the tip of the chin, and from ear to ear. The applicant cannot be looking down or to the side. The photo must have been taken in the last six months. The size of the photo should be 2” x 2” square.  The face should cover approximately 50% of the photo area. Photos should be in color and must be taken against a white or off-white background.  Photos taken in front of busy, patterned or dark backgrounds will not be accepted.  Photos should be printed without borders. Applicants should not be wearing hats, except when required by specific religious beliefs.  Photos of military or airline personnel wearing hats as part of their uniform will not be accepted.  Hats worn for religious purposes may not obscure any portion of the face of the applicant. Photos of applicants for A or G visas wearing head coverings as part of a national costume may be accepted at the discretion of the consular officer, provided the face is clearly visible. I think US embassy should also speak against it because "The Right to maintain own policy" is clearly in danger of extinction.

same experience here. my brother went to the Nabil Bank in Butwal and they charged him extra RS 1,000 saying there was a minor mistake in the filled up form. i checked several times before sending there.

I guess the Nabil Bank CEO is just trying to protect his corporation from this message. In PHOTO case we need to contact Embassy and get confirmation. If i were the CEO of same company i would have done the same thing in order to stop spreading this kind of message despite the fact what was mentioned by the victim.  I am pretty sure they are getting comission so they are advertising that photo studio ( nothing was done on free). This CEO is trying to be little smarter on the process, like Nepali politicians, to hide the reality. Same service is provided by different photo studio too but why they demand the photos from the same studio WHY???????? If not comission should be some one on his relative has opened that studio. But, still there is somethig which is compelling them to force applicant to get service from that studio.   Last edited: 08-Dec-09 04:37 PM

What I really found even more shocking than the original post was Samjhana Shrestha's response. This is what she wrote in her reply : "Dear Amazing Fren,   This is absolutely rubbish! If you want to enquire about this, you are always welcome at my office during office time.   Thanks n regards Samjhana Shrestha" A branch manager of one of the biggest banks in Kathmandu making a downright claim by "rubbishing" an inquiry instead of showing some hints of taking a steps to get detailed information is absolutely comic and horrible. That woman certainly needs to take 3-4 advanced Business Communications classes! A branch manager with such communication skills! Dear O Dear!
