Batuwa,
I do not have much experience about what to do when you don't have TA or RAship. There are few graduate students who are studying without assistantship. As far as off campus employment is concerned, never ever think working off campus without permit. Even with the permit it is so hard to get a job in this area. You may find something on-campus though.
So I would not suggest coming to this place without strong financial background.
But it will be wise to ask those students, who have been in that situation, about how they generate their income.
You can send an e-mail to ISSS about the nepalese students contact informaion.
Another thing you can do is go to Facebook and type NEPAL or Kathmandu and do a SUNY BUFFALO search. You will find few graduate students.
Above all, since this place sucks in the winter, try to be away from here. Otherwise something is always better than nothing.
