The US embassy in Kathmandu is resuming from May 1 certain services provided by its consular section, and full services by May 15, while the American Center Library will also reopen on May 1.

Issuing a press statement on Friday, the American Embassy in Kathmandu has asked Nepali visa applicants scheduled for interviews at the U.S. embassy in New Delhi before May 15 to keep those appointments, after which interviews will be taken at the consular section in Kathmandu.

“The Nabil Bank, Maharajgunj branch, will begin scheduling non-immigrant visa appointments on May 1. Interviews will begin on May 15. The Consular Section will contact persons earlier scheduled for interviews who were unable to be interviewed because the section closed and who have not yet been interviewed in New Delhi. Applicants with interviews scheduled for August in New Delhi may now go to Nabil Bank, Maharajgunj branch, to schedule a new appointment date at the Consular Section in Kathmandu,” the statement adds.

The embassy has also asked Diversity Visa winners with interview dates scheduled for May to contact the Consular Section at 4445577 as soon as possible.

The consular section and the library were closed from April 19 owing to the security and political situation in Kathmandu. nepalnews.com pb Apr 29 06
