Did any one have problem renewing passport in Embassy of Nepal in the U S A. Let me tell you what happen I sent in my passport 3 and half week ago in D C to renew but I was expecting it in a week. That’s how long it took 5 years ago. That’s how long it took for my friend year ago. So I called after a week, and my trip was in two week. The answer I got was we just received it week ago so it’s still in process. And I told the person can you do it little faster I am leaving for Nepal in two weeks. Person there said the guy who does it is not in the office, he went hospital cuz he had a head ache. I asked when will it be done then person said it says on the application 2 weeks. Ok……….. I waited 2 weeks I still didn’t get it and I was getting worried cause my trip was in a week. So I called again and the guy answered rudely “ya.. still in process just call tomorrow so that I don’t for get” I was being nice so that I could get my passport back in time. So I kept saying ok. So I called back next day and then the person said it’s in process of being done. So I thought ok finally. After 2 day I went to check my mail box it wasn’t there reason I went to check is I sent return prepaid priority mail. I went next day it wasn’t there so I thought may be post office is taking time. So next day just to be sure I called DC again and the person said oh I think it’s mailed I said can you check. The person came back and said it was mailed yesterday. I was so pissed I had 2 days left to go to Nepal. So I check day before I went to Nepal and thank god it was there. Man three weeks 2 days it took to do 15 min job. I was in Nepal and I asked the passport making place how many days does it take there they said it takes 2 days…….. Then I was thinking in USA even if all the nepalis living in America sends there passport to renew same time same day. It won’t take that long to renew. Think about America I am sure they have millions of passport application and they have to do all the background check and all that, even then it doesn’t take them that long. It only took week and a half to get new passport for my kuire friend. Then I am thinking when will the ways of nepalis working style ever change, even coming to America they work like in Nepal. I am not talking about us who work here in and live in US I am talking about Nepal government employees. Not to mention my friend send in his passport to renew and got it in 2 week even when he went to pick it up. The funny part is he called and told them that he is going to be coming to pick it up. When he went to pick it up after 1 and half week it wasn’t done they told him to come next day and when he went there two men were just chatting away doing nothing. And when he went there next day the guy told him it’s not done and he told them he is leaving the city in an hour then they told him wait. And it took them only 15 min to do it……… Please share your story if you had same problem do you guys think we should do something about it…………………..
