Go to Nepal, H1B visa are almost guaranteed. I have gotten mine stamped twice in 2008 & 2011. Although on second stamping, Embassy could not issue me visa on the window because my name did not show up on their system. They requested me to leave my passport. I called them in about a week, they said visa was ready to be picked up. It is also good to go back home especially if you have not been back in years. Now if you want a peace of mind, apply for Canada or U.K. visitor's visa first. That way, you won't fear of being stuck in Nepal. I personally wish were all not afraid of being in Nepal. I guess we are all victims of social paranoia. By the way, your H1B visa has nothing to do with Obama etc. If you believe you have earned it, go home freely.
