Sorry to hear about the situation pokhara22. First and foremost, ONE HAS TO CALM DOWN and see the situation like it is. You did break the law, which I'm sure almost all nepali students do in this matter. You are just unlucky to get noticed.You need defense. Heres how you should proceed:( 2 ways) 1) Beg for mercy to the college authority, to someone who has power to intervene in the situation, and someone who's at least open minded. It could be the president him/herself or vice president, dean etc.. This is the easiest route since all you need to do is beg. It wont cost you any money which I'm sure you need as a student. Mediation is always better than Litigation. 2) You can hire an aggressive lawyer who specializes in removal proceedings. Immigration law is complex and there are sub- divisions. Dont hire a lawyer who does removal defense and also does bankrupcy, real-estate. Downside of this is that it will cost you time and money. This should be the second option. Immigration laws are governed by FEDERAL LAWS so you can hire any competent attorney from any parts of the United States. Also, Nepalese seem to think Indian lawyers are less expensive, and can fix anything. Dont fall for that. Its my personal opinion that that might actually charge you more since you are so receptive to his/her services. I've heard a lot about http://www.shusterman.com/ though I personally don't have any experience. Also, just google "top deportation defense attorney" or something and you should see further links.... Cause brother, if things go wrong, thats where you are heading..into deportation. good luck.
