laura aunt: tks for sympathy, but honestly, your country has a big trouble with all these unscrupulous lawyers. I didn't have the residency problem, since I am still a student, but I have seen so many immigrants duped by these lawyers. Are these lawyers ever caught? If one american is duped like this in Nepal, US embassy in Nepal would definitely push our police headquarter alot to 'do something about this'.hamro embassy is so weak here, ke bhanne.
