Notes

Important notes

Every Nepali-language document MUST be accompanied by a certified English translation — embassies will reject untranslated originals. Where this page's destination notes ask for an apostille or a specific translator, follow those notes; otherwise a translation notarised by a Notary Public is the usual standard.
Nepal is NOT in the US Visa Waiver Program (VWP) — every Nepali passport holder needs a non-immigrant visa regardless of trip length or purpose. No e-visa channel; ESTA is NOT an option for Nepali passports.
In-person interview at US Embassy Kathmandu is MANDATORY for nearly every visa category, with limited Interview Waiver (IW / "drop box") eligibility for renewals of the same visa class within 48 months of expiry where the applicant is 14+ and was approved by the US Embassy Kathmandu previously. Renewals outside this window require a fresh interview.
B-1/B-2 visitor visa is dual-purpose (business + tourism) and is by default granted as multiple-entry for 10 years on a Nepali passport — single-entry grants are rare and event-specific.
Standard non-immigrant MRV fee is USD 185 (Feb 2024 onwards) for B/F/J/M/I/H/L/O/P/Q/R petition-based visas. Treaty trader/investor visas (E-1/E-2) and certain blanket-petition L-1 visas have higher fees ($315). Refundable only if the fee was paid in error to a duplicate file.
DS-160 nonimmigrant application is the single online form for ALL nonimmigrant categories — completed at ceac.state.gov/genniv. Confirmation page (barcode) must be printed and brought to interview.
SEVIS fee separately funded by the applicant: USD 350 for F-1/M-1 (academic + vocational) and USD 220 for J-1 (exchange visitor). Paid at fmjfee.com before the consular interview; receipt mandatory at the interview window.
Section 214(b) refusal — the most common Nepali-applicant outcome — means the consular officer was not persuaded that the applicant intends to leave the US after the temporary visit. Strong ties to Nepal (property, employer, family, settled finances) are the primary defence. Re-applications are allowed but require materially new evidence.
Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery: Nepal is currently eligible (subject to annual State Department determination). Entry window typically October–November each year at dvprogram.state.gov; selection notified in May the following year. ~5,000 Nepali winners annually but only ~10% complete the process and receive a green card.
Family-based immigrant visas: spouses of US citizens (IR-1/CR-1), parents of US citizens 21+ (IR-5), unmarried children under 21 (IR-2) are "immediate relatives" with no annual cap and no priority-date wait. Other categories (F1, F2A, F2B, F3, F4) have multi-year backlogs — F4 (siblings of US citizens) is the longest at 12–15 years for Nepal as of 2026.
Employment-based immigrant visas: EB-1 (extraordinary ability / outstanding researcher / multinational executive) typically current for Nepal, EB-2 / EB-3 (professional / skilled worker) currently backlogged 2–6 years per the State Department Visa Bulletin, EB-5 (investor, USD 800k+ in TEA or USD 1.05M elsewhere) typically current.
Medical exam is MANDATORY for all immigrant visa categories (IV). Approved Panel Physicians in Kathmandu: CIWEC Clinic (Lazimpat) and Norvic International Hospital — appointment via the NVC after the case is documentarily complete.
All non-English documents (citizenship, marriage, education) must be submitted with a certified English translation. Notarisation is recommended but not always required at the interview window — the consular officer may accept on face value.
Common refusal patterns for Nepali applicants: weak ties to Nepal (single applicants under 30 without dependants / property / job tenure), unexplained source of funds, prior US refusals not disclosed on DS-160, undisclosed criminal record (including minor offences), prior immigration violations at any port.
Visa revocation can be triggered post-issuance for arrest, derogatory information surfacing, or overstaying in the past — carry clean travel records and disclose everything on the DS-160.
