Alok, first go to the american embassy at the yak n yeti. Get the form filled out there so that you can marry a nepali citizen. After getting married , it takes 14 days to process and you can get the marriage certificate, which could get very long if you are not on top of it. Then, fill out the I-130 form. When you get the receipt number for the I-130, apply the I-129F to make the process faster. The whole thing takes about 6 months.
hope that helps.

It is not as easy as you might think. I went through this process 3 years ago. I don't know what's the criterias these days. Just make sure you have plenty of time. This thing takes at least a month. Remember its not the Embassy's process, its our Nepal's government process that is really long. Here are list of things you will need to do.
1. Apply for marriage certificate in CDO. Thi will be your court marriage application.
2. CDO will send one letter to Home Ministry and one to Rastiya Anushandhan Karyalaya. Hopefully you know some in those to places.
3. Home Ministry will conduct its investigation. ie. It will send a letter to Police Headquater.
4. Police headquater will send the correspondent to DSP office in Hanuman Dhoka
5. DSP office sends correspondent to your local police. Mine was in Jana Shewa, New Road.
6. Local Police will send all the above correspondings to Home Ministry saying that the Nepali citizen you are marrying doesn't have any previous unresolved marriage or criminal cases.
7. Now Rastya Anushandhan will contuct its investigation. I really hope you know someone here. They will conduct an interview with you. Sooner you can have them do this better it is.
8. After Rastya Anushandhan finishes its investigation, it will write a correspondent.
9. You take both correspondent letter from Home Ministry and Rastya Anushandhan to CDO and have your marriage certificate made.
10. Thats it. Have patience.
Bare in mind, you have to follow up on every step I mentioned above personally.
BTW, spending some cash definitly make things faster, but i refused to do it, so it took me exactly 2 months to finish this thing. But that's just me. I had time to spare.
Good luck,
SS

Sorry to leave the rest unexplained.

Next step would be to go to American Embassy. Everything there is straight forward. They will however interview your spouse in your presence, but it will be much more comfortable than the one that will conduct by Rastya Anushandhan. Just have all your documents like Affidavit of Support, tax return for previsous 3 years, and if possible but not necessary, letter from your employer that you work for them (full/part time) as "blah blah" position. Thats it.
BTW, i forgot to tell you one more thing. Actually before you start any process from CDO, you will need to get a "No Oblijection Letter" from American Embassy", which CDO needs. Its just saying that US gov. has no objection on your marriage and you don't have any unresolved marriage in the US.

Good luck,
SS

Jayamadi ji,
Your situation is not so easy one. You have couple of option.
1. Try to apply new petion through you, which will take several years, and i mean anywhere between 3-5 years.
2. You will be eligible to apply for US citizenship after 4 year 9 months from the date you got your green card. Then you can go back and bring her here.

However, I heard something regarding some double standard issues for the people with DV green cards. Just to be clear, contact your local "Immigration and Naturalization Service" office. Don't ask them how you can bring your wife here. Ask them how/when will you be able to apply for citizenship.

Good luck,
SS

Getting Married in Nepal
Americans deciding to get married in Nepal must meet the Government of Nepal's requirements in order for the marriage to be legally binding. The legal age in Nepal for marriage is 22 years old for men and 18 years old for women. The authorities responsible for registering marriages involving foreigners are the Chief District Administrative Office for each district, popularly known as "CDO office." (In Kathmandu, the CDO office is located in Babar Mahal.)

The Government of Nepal requires that Americans marrying in Nepal have an Affidavit of Eligibility to Marry, notarized by a Consular Officer at the U.S. Embassy. There is a $30 fee associated with this service, payable in U.S. Dollars or the equivalent in Nepalese rupees. This type of service can be quickly completed any weekday afternoon at the Consular Section; there is no need for a prior appointment. Please be sure to bring a copy of the Nepali citizen intended spouse's passport or citizenship card.

Registering your marriage at the CDO
To apply for a GON issued marriage certificate, you need to submit the Affidavit of Eligibility to Marry (referenced above) with other required papers at the CDO office. We understand that the CDO currently requires evidence of your nationality, photographs and a processing fee. After you apply, the CDO will check your legal status in Nepal with various government offices. This process can take anywhere between three to eight weeks. After the CDO completes their administrative processing of your application, they will issue a marriage certificate, which is usually written in both Nepalese and in English.

Applying for an Immigrant Visa
The Embassy only will accept petitions on behalf of the USCIS provided that the American citizen is a current resident of Nepal, having lived in Nepal for at least 6 months.

At the discretion of the Consular Officer, the Embassy may in certain circumstances accept petitions filed for the spouse of an American citizen if the American Citizen has recently married a Nepali citizen in Nepal. It is recommended that prior to traveling to Nepal, petitioners contact the Consular Section directly to discuss the options for filing the petition.

Immigrant Petition for Alien Relative (I-130)

If you are a resident of Nepal, after you receive your marriage certificate, you may file an immigrant petition (I-130 petition) for your spouse directly with the U.S. Embassy in Kathmandu. Please call the Consular Section at 441-1179 at least two business days in advance to make an appointment.

To file the I-130 petition you will need to provide:

Your marriage certificate

Proof of U.S. citizenship (passport)

Proof of Nepali citizenship (preferably passport)

Proof of termination of any prior marriage(s)

Passport sized photographs, one of you and one of your spouse, attached to Form G325A (Biographic Information) for each of you

Required processing fee of $185 payable in USD or Nepalese rupees

Evidence of the relationship (photographs, letters, etc)

NOTE: To file the I-130 Petition, both the American citizen and alien spouse must be physically present at the interview. The Consular Officer will decide at the time of the interview whether the I-130 Petition filed is clearly approvable, in which case a visa may be processed.

Alternatively, you may file the petition when you return to the United States through the Bureau for Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) Center closest to where you live. Information on BCIS Service Centers can be found at http://uscis.gov . The filing fee, regardless where you file, is $185.00.

Immigrant Visa

Once the I-130 petition is approved, your spouse will receive information on applying an immigrant visa at the U.S. Embassy in Kathmandu. The processing fee for an immigrant visa application is $335.00 or the equivalent in Nepalese rupees, cash only.

To file an immigrant visa with the U.S. Embassy your spouse will need to provide the following about him or herself:

OF-230 I: Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration (Biographic Data)

OF-230 II: Sworn Statement

Passport

Marriage certificate

Birth certificate (both Nepalese original and official English translation)

Police certificate for every country your spouse has resided in for more than 6 months after s/he reached 16 years of age

Medical Examination by one of the Embassy's panel physicians

Military, court or prison records (if applicable)

Photographs (see separate handout on IV Photo requirements)

I-864: Affidavit of Support from U.S. spouse, including copies of last 3 years of IRS tax returns. (If the U.S. spouse's income does not exceed U.S. poverty guidelines, an additional sponsor's affidavit may be required).

A checklist with information of the previously mentioned documents will be given to the applicant once the I-130 petition is approved.

Immigrant Visa Interview

Both the American citizen and his/her alien spouse may come to the immigrant visa interview, but only the alien spouse is required to appear. Immigrant visa interviews are scheduled by appointment on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in the afternoons only.

This informational handout is for general information only. It is not intended to explain or advise individuals on the Government of Nepal’s legal requirements. If you would like specific legal advice, please consult with a local lawyer. The U.S. Embassy maintains a list of English-speaking lawyers.
