Ok boy.. don't try to be smart..... this is how you will end up in trouble if you use Nepalese passport to enter Nepal.

When you each Tribhuvan Airport, during immgration clearnace process, they will put a sticker on your Nepalese passport indicating the arrival date. Such sticker is also used in any other foreigner's passport.

When you try to take off from that airport, they will check if you have visa to go to your final destination (USA). Of course, US embassy will not give you travel visa on your nepalese passport. So you cannot use that nepali passport.

But if you try to use US passport, that passport doesn't have that fugging arrival sticker... without that it will mean that you violated the immigration law of Nepal.. you are grounded, even end up in a jail for couple of days to months.

Don't take fugging chances: Do this.. which is simple.... Leave behind your Nepali passport in USA.. take US passport with you. YOu do not have to apply for Nepalese travel visa at Nepalese Embassy in Washington. They issue visa right there at the arrival setion in Tribhuvan Airport. Make sure you take passport size pictures with you and a pen (!) with you to fill the visa application form. Visa fees is US$30 (make sure to carry dollar CA$H). You will get 60 days visa.. and it's cool, they simply issue you the visa. Of course, the officer there with dhaka topi will try to ask smart question when he will see your nepali face. Such as : where is the expiry date of this passport... poor guy can read your pure nepali name in the US passport droooling.. but he will have to issue visa, no doubt about that. So when you return, there will be ZERO problem at immigration clearnace as well.

When Nepal will be engulfed by India.. it will be lot easier.. you can then be NRI, which is much better than NRN. There you go.. one advantage for Nepricanes.
