Ferarra..Whoever this user is, has no idea why US Govt has a power to put these Nepales in jail  but Not to 11 million undocumented Hispanics. 

1. These Nine Nepalese have signed a USCIS document called  Affidavit of Support Form I-134. If you read at the bottom of the page of the Form, .you will see... 

"Oath or Affirmation of Sponsor"
I certify under penality of prejury under United States law......true and correct. 

And of course, No doubt, each of them has signed this Form.

In regular langauge, it means,  Hang me United States Govt. if I do or say anthing wrong against the statements in the form. 

ल ठीक छ यी नेपालीहरुबाट केही गल्ती भयो... तर धेरै नेपालीहरुले यस्तो गरेका छन् । धेरैले यसो गरेका छन् भनेर यिनिहरुले गरेको गरेको कार्य ठीक हो भन्ने प्रमाणित गर्न खोजेको होइन मैले । तर के स्कूललाई बुझाउनु पर्ने बैंकको कागजमा यति समय देखि बैक खातामा पैसा भइरहेको हुनुपर्ने अथवा बैकको कागज बुझाएको यति समय पछिसम्म पनि यो रकम खातामै भइरहनुपर्छ भन्ने त्यस्तो केही व्यवस्था छ ?

त्यस्तो व्यवस्था होस् अथवा नहोस् तर यिनिहरुले पाउनसक्ने सजाय चाहिने भन्दा बढी देखिन्छ । अब हरेक कुरामा तर्क बितर्क गर्ने र सुक्ष्म बिष्लेषण गर्ने भन्दा पनि यी नेपालीहरुको सजायलाई कसरी कम गर्न सकिन्छ भन्ने बिषयमा कुरा गरु ।

साझामा दिनहुँ जसो यलाई सम्मान गरियो र त्यसलाई सम्मान गरियो भनेर टास्ने महोदय जि अब भने तपाईंको संस्थाको साँचो सहयोग केही नेपालीहरुलाई चाहिएको छ । तपाईंहरु अगाडि उभिनुभयो भने म लगायत अरु थुप्रै नेपालीले सकेको सहयोग गर्ने नै छन् ।  

Agree with GT.
let me now respond to your request for help:
Nepali samajko khyatiprapta Netajyule yesko udghatan garnubho, falanolai samman garnubho. Yo karyakamma thuprai Nepali upasthit hunuhunthyo. Yo nepali samajko lagi garvako kura ho.
Vijaya Thapa, Virginia.

Milyo?

 

Friends: Bank Just need the Available balance, they dont care where the money came from . There is nothing wrong borrowing money from friends and showing bank balance for schools.For this kind of act Jail period is 0 Days and fine upto 0 cents. The Attorney must be stupid. This is not a federal violation . 

यो केश trial मा गई सकेको छ भने हामि नेपाली वा हाम्रो नेपाली संस्थाहरुले कसैले पनि एसमा केहि गर्न सक्दैन. कुन गल्तिको कति सजाय हुनुपर्छ भनेर हामीले बहस गर्न मिल्छ जस्तो लाग्दैन. अब यो कानुनी प्रक्रियामा  गईसकेको छ भने तेस्को निर्णय मान्नै पर्ने हुञ्छ. किनकि यो नेपाल होइन जहाँ अदालतको फैसला मान्दिन भनेर संगठित भएर जुलुस मोर्चा निकाल्न लाई. बरु सक्छौ भने ती बिद्ध्यार्थीहरुलाई मुद्दा जित्नको लागि चाहिने कानूनी बिद्द्वानहरुले सल्लाह सुझाब दिने र moral support गर्नेतिर लागौ. तर अमेरिकी कानून र तेस्को फैसला ठिक भएन भनेर आवाज उठाउनुतिर संगठित हुनु मुर्खता हुन जाला, सबैलाई चेतना भया

Ambassador Shankar Sharma is a joke. He is probably busy in dance parties and picnics. It is irresponsible of him to say that he is not informed yet. They act like kings when they are in position and when they're out, they write articles of what should be done. This news has been pubished in many media, and king Sharma says he is not informed yet.

I think american embassies always try to protect its citizens anywhere and have 24 hours hotline number.

Why do nepali authorities act so irresponsibly? 

The blame is also on our attitude and our sycophancy. We invite them for parties with garlands and never criticize or write to them for improvements or asking for help. Nepali organizations' first objective is to party and second objective is to party and third objective is to promote culture and literature. I am not sure if the organizations ever intend to help others.

Mr. Vijay Thapa from Virginia is already acting like he is not liable to answer or do anything. I asked question to his thread once, and he did not bother to answer. They act like 'high class' people when they are in any sort of position.

It looks like University is helping. I think it was unfortunate, and they should contact some immigration organizations for help. I hope they're contacting international students organization there. They could even bargain by saying that this is not good for university and it will send a wrong message to international students as the unwelcoming place.

a million dollar question remains - how in the heck did they find out about the bank balance after 5 years?? some of them were/are doing postdocs i.e. they already graduated.

the entire news focus on WHY but says nothing about HOW!!! 

 getting into trouble in a different country than yours is scary as f***

I think they got caught because there was too much financial transactions among those 9 individuals on amount larger than 10K possibly from the same bank and the same bank manager in a small town called Kansas City. Someone probably thought it was some kind of money laundering scam and found out somethingelse going on with it.

The point here is that its not crime to borrow and pay money however you want but the crime is to lie US government that you have enough funds to go to school when you actually did not. The same amount of money ( possibly gotten out from another bank) was used to get visas for 9 individuals. That is the crime.

Whenever Gorkhey do something....the herd mentality stops them doing things differently. I bet, not just the bank but even the bank manager could be the same for these papers.

For those in crime expert, please. Let us remind ourself that this nation has murders and drug cartels living free and their immigration status remained unchecked. Regardless of the crime, these people were educated people and all they want was higher education.
It's not important right now to dig with why/who. Our fellow Nepali needs help, not your lecture. It would be nice if, for once, Nepali embassy reach out to them and do their duty.
What about ANA, shouldn't they? Oh wait, they are just there to party and collect money.

बिरालाको घाटिमा दाम्लो बानि चुट्ये सरि भ यो त .. अमेरिकाको रास्ट्रपतिलेनै भनेको हैन शिक्ष्या मा सबै को समान अधिकारहुनु पर्छ भनेर. अनि के भुत्त्रा को affidavit ??

 Can anyone set up a donation fund for a good attorney? How about sajha admin? That's very unfair to them.

Furke..what a jerk. Did any one of them asking for your donations?

गल्ति गर्ने एक जना दोष दिने ANA लाई थुक्क बुद्धिहाराहरु .  त्यो ४० -५० बर्से PHD students को बुद्धि नभा हो कि Kansas politicians को बुद्धि नभा हो दोष चाई ANAलाई. अब यो बुद्धि नभा सबै students को ठेक्का ANA र embassyले लिएको छ र ? hey you all great advisors of america, please help these people who had done mistake. जानी जानी गल्ति गर्ने अनि सहयोग माग्ने | God save America and ANA. Happy 4th

 F*UCK ANA....they are busy selecting Mr and Miss Vogue or whatever shit.....

nepali lai aapat pareko bela ma kaam aayena bhaney bhutro ko ANA???

 विवश बाबु , बिचरा ANA वालाहरुले के नै पो गर्न सक्छ र ? तिनीहरु भनेको बर्समा एक चोटी नेपालीहरुको कुम्भ मेला गराएर नाचगान गर्ने , बस तेती हो | कि अझै पनि नेपालमै छु जस्तो गरि source - force मानसिकता बाट ग्रसित छौ | ANA त के ज्ञानेन्द्र नै आए नि केहि हुने वाला छैन अमेरिकामा | कानूनको पालन गरिएन भनी अस्ति भक्कर Nevada को congressman लै लखतेर गोडाको मुनि थिचेर हड्कड़ी लाएको हेरया धेरै भा छैन , उही नेपाला हो भनी पुलिसहरु चु बोल्न सक्दैन थिए होला | भावुक नबनुम, आवेगमा न आम , यो देशमा money laundering कडा अपराध हो , जुन तिनीहरुले गरेका छन् |

I agree with bittertruth.  ANA र embassy त के ओबामा नै आए पनि केहि गर्न सक्दैन .

 not saying that what they did was 100% right. probably only 1% of students who came to US had genuine paperwork. there are loopholes everywhere and thats what they tried to use but unfortunately they got caught.

aba we know they are in trouble tehi bhayera thought that the OLDEST and most PRESTIGIOUS nepali association in the USA could/would do something to make this process easier for those poor nepali students.

president ko nai kura garney bhaye.....yehi desh ma nai ho president le office ma sex garera pani kehi nabhako!

 I think ANA is profit oriented organization. They make Huge amount of money and share the profit amoung their members, and it is worthless to expect help  from ANA or Ambassador . I have never heard that ANA helped to anybody who needs real help. Right now, so called popular and powerfull people are gathered in NY but noday raised this issue in the programs. As far as i know the case is alrady in court ,so nobody can do anything  except good trial lawyers.
