I believe Tij is Hindu... I haven't heard of it before so I searched it. It does sound like a nice idea...

The guy raving about Thakali Kitchen is probably Yakshaver (Daniel Ionita from Australia, but now living in Romania I believe). He actually had a role in how I met S!

Putali, I'm not sure if writing to your Congressperson will help at this stage... you might want to ask on the main K-1 forum. But here is a thought from our experience, with a little background first: S and I met in Sept 04. I went back to visit him in March 05, which, if you remember, was a month after King G declared sort of "martial law". We had lost touch for a week that first week of February, along with the rest of the world, when G cut the phone/internet/mail/everything. I was fairly freaked out about the situation, having lost touch (like everyone else in the world) with S for several days, so we attempted DCF. We failed, and when that happened, I spent an afternoon firing off emails to both US Senators and our Governor (what was I thinking... the Governor??). I wrote about how unstable the country was and how worried I was about S being there. Both Senators' immigration aides wrote to the Consulate in Kathmandu and received essentially the same reply, which was copied to me. Basically, it said I didn't meet the residency requirement to do DCF and we should file for a K-1. So that's what we did. And from there, our process was very fast.

All of this had nothing to do with USCIS, so I can't really comment on whether contacting a Congressperson will help you now at the petition stage, but I have a sneaking suspicion that our emails helped us get through the Consulate in Ktm lickety-split. But we'll never know!!

Gotta run and get to work! Hang in there, you guys...

Check this out: http://www.amazon.co...m/dp/B0000D9N9O

Haven't tried it (I'll be darned if I'm paying $20/lb for ANY cheese), but it's here...

I've tried several things from the Nepali Cookbook. I've also taken liberties with one or two of their recipes... they came out well even so. Our favorite, and an easy dinner, is a kind of fried rice with whatever veggies you have on hand, or chicken if you eat chicken. Yum.

Never ate at BK Fries. We've gone to Thakali Kitchen the past few times, which is good, imo, especially if you are treating numerous relatives!

OMG I am feeling SOOO technologically challenged right now. :blink: But after MANY attempts, I finally uploaded a few photos to my profile. :blush:

If it makes you guys feel any better, mero maya is holding on to his culture and sweetness just fine. We still sing in Nepali and dance around the house and eat lots of dal bhat and speak in a strange mixture of Nepali and English. We have pictures up and a little Buddhist shrine in the living room, and prayer flags and marigolds on the porch. Feels like home. I'm sure you'll all be fine. In fact, there are probably a lot more cultural "touchstones" available to your SO's in your more urban settings than there are here.

I am so excited about both of your visajourneys... I'm re-living the whole thing through you guys! Pattu Rani, hurry up and send in your paperwork!! Not to add any pressure... :P

There's a video of that song Ritu Haru Ma Timi on YouTube (typed the title into google). Very pretty!

Cool site - do you know Nepal now has a new, king-free national anthem? :thumbs:

I am trying to get G to teach me some Nepali songs - I have lots of Nepali CDs but cant sing along to them :lol: Does your son ever listen to Nepali rap? Yes, it does exist :)

Yes, I read about the new national anthem on that Nepal News Now site! I just found a link to an audio of it from BBC:

http://news.bbc.co.u...sia/6930099.stm (look in the upper right hadn corner of the page for the audio link)

You may have to wait until you have your own personal translator in residence :P to figure out the words to some Nepali songs. There's still one verse of Resham Firiri that has me stumped! But I'm learning. That was the first Nepali song I learned... S wrote it out for me in Nepali and English :wub: when we were first getting to know one another.

Yeah, we have found some Nepali rap online, but I only have high speed at work and we didn't buy any Nepali rap when we were there in June, so that'll have to wait, I guess. He just wants to listen to what all of his friends are listening to, so I'm not even sure that Nepali rap would fit the bill. He's all into BLENDING, just like every other 11 year old, I guess. I vaguely remember what that felt like, so I try to humor him to some extent. But NO gameboy!!! :angry: He says I'm mean. I remember saying that to my mom, too.

This too shall pass.

Asia: Southvisas denied to india
wow this is so outrageous.
The indian embassies in the U.S are denying visas to India for naturalized U.S citizens due to some new rules and regulations.
if you want a visa to india you have to provide your old indian passport and if you are unable to provide that your visa will be denied.
this happened to my cousin this week. she came to the U.S as a four year old girl and is now 32. she has visited india on many many occasions. her husband is from india. well her visa application was denied this time as she did not provide her old indian passport. well when she came here some 28 years ago...she did not have a passport.she travelled on her mother's passport and my aunt has not kept her old passport..since she also became naturalized.
this is so freaky... as i am in the same situation as her. I have no indian passport to surrender to them...and that means i can't get a visa to india. my husband's family is there and he is really panicked that i won't ever be able to go there.......
does anyone have any other information on this....

Asia: SouthLast name in Green Card and Passport don't match

Moving to your region forum.



According to my lawyer it will be a problem for Immigration officials to see a name mismatch. When you enter the US again after your trip - you MUST carry your Marriage Certificate with you. This is the only proof you have that your name has changed.

Even so with your MC, you will still have problems. At the Port of Entry they will likely take you to the back room and question you repeatedly about your name and why it doesnt match. You can still regain entry to the US but you must have your Marriage Certificate to prove this name change - and also be prepared to answer whatever questions they might have.

You could also get a new passport in Indonesia (or at the Indonesia Embassy here in the USA). You will have to check with someone else - but you potentially might be travelling to Indonesia on the Maiden Name passport - and travelling back to USA on the Married Name passport. In that case you might need to take with you your Old Passport, New Passport, Green Card and Marriage Certificate. You should check with a lawyer or someone else about all this, but the names on the GC and the Passport should match for easy reentry to the USA.

Because of the long wait between initial I130 application and actual approval - I want to take a trip with my wife to a European country. For this we need to get her a Schengen tourist visa.


Has anyone here applied for a Schengen tourist visa for their beneficiary's Indian passport?
What was the process like? How did you go about satisfying the financial requirements for the visa (this seems to be pretty important)?
Was the Schengen visa awarded to the applicant in the end or were they denied?

I honestly was a little concerned about the risk of applying for a Visa and possibly getting denied [which I think there is always a chance of].

The 15-day option on arrival is perfect and uncomplicated way to travel - no worry about applying for the Visa, which I really wanted to avoid while the CR-1 petition is ongoing.

Is this rule to only those applying for new visas? What if you still have a 10 year visa that was issue from 2 years ago?

Would they still deny access into india? My parents have been concerned about this as they dont have their indian passports anymore. They been in the U.S for 40 years, legally that is.

Pattu-didi, I only say you're too happy to be a Nepali bride because most of the Nepali brides I've seen look absolutely miserable on their wedding day. Rajan told me it's normal because the bride has to leave the home of her family and probably won't see them again for a very long time. She now "belongs" to the husband and his family and must now live her life under a completely different set of rules with well-defined expectations from her in-laws. http://www.flickr.co...hitar/10241020/ (According to the caption, it's all an act)

If I lost contact with Rajan, I just don't know what I would do. I still go crazy when he's out on trek and keep telling myself that I'm going to attach some kind of GPS device on him... maybe one day I can track him with google earth. Either that, or train a pigeon. Maya, I can't imagine what you went through!

I read eKantipur once in a while but especially when Rajan tells me something is going on... another bandh, extreme weather, etc.

Asia: SouthCalling all Nepal K-1/K-3/AOS filers
From some brief history lessons in a my distant past, the reason why Mao Tse Tung's particular brand of communism was popular was because he sought to assemble and empower the peasants/farmers (who lived in extreme poverty and of which most of China's populations is comprised of) against the Nationalist government that really wasn't doing the country any kind of good. This is a very similar situation with Nepal's poor and the current monarchy. The reason why Maoist ideals failed is because they displayed too radical ideals that were manifested in agendas and practices that resulted in the killing of many innocent Chinese and the blatant destruction of anything seen as a clinging to the old ways (temples, statues, cultural events). As long as there is poverty, radical ideals will always appeal to a population that has no other hope. The main reason why China has changed its ways is because of the influence of capitalism and its needs to play nice in the global arena. It's a catch-22 really. Nepal is the poorest Asian country with the average life-expectancy around 50-55 years (I believe it's even less if you're a woman). All these facts put Nepal on par with the poorest of the sub-Saharan African nations. For people to embrace Maoists ideals shouldn't shock anyone. While on trek you see Marx quoted in Nepali and in English (to make a point to travelers, I'm sure). The women, I'm constantly reminded, have it the worst. No rights, little legal recourse, no hope. Is it any wonder why Nepalese women are the most eager to join the Maoist movement?

When I was in Kathmandu, I went to the Yak and Yeti location for consular services and I immediately thought, "Who the hell would put an embassy here?!" Did you know there's a casino in Yak and Yeti? In any case, I think it's a good move. The site where it's located now is a real hike since it's near Tribhuvan Teaching Hospital, but at least it's away from the madness, like the Indian embassy.

Pattu-didi, to answer your question about the phone card. I don't use one that logs phone calls (at least I've not asked if they do). I'm not too concerned about that since Rajan and I are very regularly in touch by snail mail letters, g-mail chat, e-mail, etc. I do get a receipt for every phone card I purchase. Log on to www.pinonsale.com. There are several cards I use, but my all-time favorite is the L.A. Unlimited Aggressive. This "card" is the greatest. I think I spoke to Rajan for 2 hours straight for $5. You can even make two separate calls and make it stretch farther. There is a trick to this "card". The first call should be relatively short, say 15 minutes. Then you'll still have reserve funds left. But the next call can be unlimited. It's great. And the sound quality is amazing. One caveat to this card is that you must be calling a Kathmandu number. If your honey lives outside of Kathmandu, it should still work, but you won't have unlimited. This goes for most of the "cards" this site offers. If you want to try it, I can give you a pin number and you can call G. Good luck with it!

I'm still dreaming of spring rolls. Spring rolls on trek are monstrousities... huge fried vegetable turnovers, as big as calzones! I think I must have ordered one of those at every lodge we stopped at. I've been getting my recipes from Rajan's older sister. She and the rest of the women in Rajan's family are amazing cooks. Granted, she can't give me amounts, only can tell me what's in the dish and what order to cook them in. Thanks for the yak cheese link Maya! I'm a huge cheese freak and I love yak cheese. I'm dreaming about grilled yak cheese and tomato sandwiches right now. I know it's expensive, but I swear I'm going to order some!

Rajan told me that the Thakalis are famous for their cooking, not that they cook very different foods from any other ethnic group in Nepal. I understood them to be masters of flavor and food preparation, the Thakalis in Nepal are what the French are to European cuisine. In Tatopani, I had the tastiest meal ever... best dahl bhat tarkari and grilled fish prepared by a Thakali cook. You know how they say the way to man's heart is through his stomach? I think Rajan's really marrying me because he says I look Thakali. Hehehehehe...

I didn't try sikarni, but it seems very similar to a yogurt dessert in India, so it goes for many dishes in Nepal.

Ok, so enough about food already! It's damn near midnight here and instead of raiding the fridge, I need to go to sleep. I have serious separation anxiety. I talk to Rajan everyday, sometimes twice a day and it's not enough. I heard that writing your congressperson helps the process along tremendously. I made a first draft to Senator Barbara Boxer. Do you think it'll work? What if I get my friends and family to sign a petition with the header "Please find below signatures of support from wedding guests and your constituents."

I'll go recite my mantra...

Today I went ape-wild at the Indian market and bought everything from Chana Besan (chickpea flour) to asefetida. Don't know exactly what I'm going to do with it all but I'll figure it out. I can make a mean veg momo and the tomato achar to go with it. Gotta be a good Nepali wife you know. The other dishes I'm missing from Nepal are the curried pumpkin leaves, the spring rolls at the tea lodges during trek, those super-sweet suntalas on the way to Ghorepani, and caramelized buf milk. I second the yak cheese comment! I LOVE YAK CHEESE! Did anyone go to BK fries in Kathmandu?

It's a funny thing about Nepali love songs. Rajan translated a few of them to me and I found them to be so tragic! There was one lyric by a male vocalist singing something to the effect of "I went to your wedding and saw another man put the sindoor in your hair". I forget that a society of arranged marriages would of course produce music with another set of problems unknown to us westerners used to love marriages. So sad.

Anyways, here's my favorite picture I took of my mother-in-law-to-be and mero prem in their home in Chitwan:

Maya! Welcome back from Nepal! I so envy you! Good to hear you are doing well... As far as the topic goes, I love Nepali songs! Mero Raj is somewhat of a minstrel of the mountains. He sang and sang to me during trek and one particular song stuck with me. I am learning this song now to sing at our wedding... Ritu Haruma Timi by Arun Thapa. Amazing lyrics... nothing in English can compare. My biggest concern with Rajan is that he will assimilate too fast and too completely. At work I keep pictures of his humble farmhouse and his three buff to bring me back to earth once and a while.

Aloha from Hawaii!

My case is, I'm from Indonesia and I enter US with K1-Visa (fiance visa)
I changed my maiden name into my husband's last name on my marriage certificate, and filed all the papers with my new name.
I called Indonesian consulate before i did that, and they confirm that they will be able to change my last name when i renew my passport.
But then when i renew my passport after i got my Green Card, SSN, Driver License and insurance under my (brand new) name,
the Indonesian send my new passport with 2 last name (my maiden name and my husband's last name).
I found that he didn't understand perfectly what I wanted, and they ask me to go to the court in Indonesia if i want to change my name match with my Green Card.

My questions are,
1. Will there any problem for me to travel with a different name on my Green Card and Passport?
As we're thinking to visit Indonesia this month and will stay over in Japan for a night.
2. Will it be difficult for me to enter US with unmatch name on GC and Passport?
3. Should I go to the court when I'm in Indonesia and have my name changed?
