I am a graduate student with an F-1 visa . My passport expires in feb 2007. My department is renewing the financial support for the next year (2006-2007). They told me that they need my passport valid throughout the year of 2007 to renew the support. I wonder if it is possible to renew the passport even if it is valid for almost a year from now. Any help about it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

it should help..

rajaharischandra,
I think it has to be 6 month prior to expiry date but Yes you can renew a year in advance. But like someone said earliercall the embassy first coz I don't work in Nepalese embassy and their rules changes according to their mood.

Good Luck

Thanks for all who shared the informations. I called both of Royal Nepalese Consulate General and Royal Nepalese Embassy. I am not sure if the lady who answered my phone in Embassy understood my situation. She even did not want to listen my situation and here is what she told me " we renew the passport but not earlier than six months validity period , send it right now, you can send it now,your passport is valid for nine months and it normally takes one month to renew the passport." I could not understand her mathematics. And in Consulate's office, the lady told me that every body was out for lunch so no one was there to answer my question and I guess it was around 2 pm there in NY. I will keep calling them till every body gets back from the lunch. Hope they dont have day long lunch.

cheers!!

dude,
call DC number and ask for Tamang dai and he knows what he is doing but this guy is a bit moody though
