Geez Racheeta, please forgive me for misreading guy_tensed's initial post. I thought he said that his F-1 status had expired  instead of F-1 visa had expired. I've lived in the states for over 6 years myself and there was absolutely no need for that sorta response. Like you, I was merely trying to give a sincere response. Tensed bro, try to find out if there's a way to appeal ( to save the reapplying fee ). There seems to be a massive loophole in the way in which the embassy issues Visas to Nepalese.

Goood luck Tensed Bro, I truly understand ur feeling at this point. Though you are in PHD level and I am in udergrad. I went to Nepal in Dec and visa had expired. I went to renew and at one point of interview I had regreted my self why I went cause the Counsellor(lady) was rude at the time of interview and I was thinking at the point what I would do if she denied me. As I had only one Quarter, i.e 10 weeks was remaining to graduate, I would have been truly in trouble if I was denied as it took me 6 years to be at that point. Lucky that I had just a Bank statement of 5000$ of Bof A. I was been asked several Hw and Wh questions but was granted though.   Goood luck bro ..  . . just be cool and face the interview.. . dont get mad at them or be polite, its we who wannnna something from them.

Hello everyone, I have a good news to share with you all. I was granted Visa in my 2nd attempt. Thank you very much for all your suggestions and advice. I truly appreciate it...The consular only asked few questions and i'd like to share it with you all so that it may benefit whoever is coming to Nepal for F1 Renewal. Questions asked: When do you graduate? What's your research about ? Where did you work during ur OPT period? Then, he said Congratulations, you may collect your visa tomorrow. Thank you all. God bless you.

You should fine as frogs' hair, if you have full assistantship and you don't intend to screw up your interview by saying 'fcck you'.
