keepitreal, (what a wonderful nick you have, hehe) well, if you're gonna stay for 2 weeks then don't worry about prior setting of appt. date. coz generally these days they give you dates right after 7 days from the day you apply or sometimes even earlier!. so the first thing you should do when you reach nepal is go to the nabil bank office in maharajgunj and set the appointment date. make sure you have all the documents with you. you will also need a labor clearance and for that you need to go to the ministry of labor. generally they will do it in a couple of days if you explain your situation iof urgency.
