How the Visa Bond Pilot Program Works:
➡️AFTER the visa interview, a consular officer will give you payment instructions with a direct link to https://t.co/I1h7TGZMHv, if eligible.
➡️Pay the bond within 30 days.
➡️Receive a single-entry visa valid for up to 3 months.
➡️Enter the United States at commercial air ports of entry.
➡️Upon return home, bond will be automatically canceled and the money refunded if all visa requirements are met (including not working in the United States and departing on time).
@arpita278 It was political but foolish decision by @ShahBalen Government 🇳🇵.
Texas and New York Consulate will remain as is, its just SF office which will be shut down.
We left home. We built lives here. We never stopped loving Nepal.
And on May 29, Nepal closed our only consulate in a budget speech.
150,000 of us. 11 states. Not even a goodbye.
Sign our petition. Let's bring it back.

A small hydro station in rural Nepal shifted gender norms more than a decade of donor programming had managed.
Not because anyone designed it that way.

I have heard of a Zomato loophole which is so simple, terrifying and Zomato should be losing sleep over it
A person orders 1 roti on Zomato. ₹40.
Then he calls the restaurant directly 6 rotis, paneer butter masala, malai chaap, dal makhani, gulab jamun and pays them on UPI.
Tells the restaurant to pack everything with that 1 roti Zomato order.
The Zomato rider picks it up. Delivers home. No clue that ₹1,200 of food is riding shotgun with a ₹40 order.
He’s using Zomato’s app. Zomato’s rider. Zomato’s entire logistics network and paying zero commission on 90% of his bill.
It’s cheaper than booking directly from Porter and restaurant.
The restaurant loves it. Full margin, no 25 to 30% Zomato cut.
The customer loves it. No platform fee. No surge. No GST on the hidden portion.
Zomato? Quietly subsidising the entire operation.
And here’s the part nobody’s talking about this isn’t one rogue customer. Restaurants are in on it. They may be whispering this tip to regulars to keep them off the app.
If this spreads, the unit economics of food delivery don’t just dip they bleed out from the inside.
Zomato needs to plug this loophole. This is exploitation of the system. Zomato MUST do something to stop this.
Have you seen this happening in your area?
I took this photo on 19 May while climbing from Camp III toward Camp IV on Mt Everest. At that moment, I never imagined it would go viral across the world. I was simply doing my job, documenting the mountain as an expedition photographer and photojournalist.
This season, the Khumbu Icefall route was delayed for several days due to the serac block above the route. The delays also affected acclimatisation rotations for many teams, forcing climbers to adjust their schedules and wait longer than planned. Because of this, a huge number of climbers targeted the 20 May weather window at the same time, and you can actually see that buildup in this photo: a line of climbers moving high above the Lhotse Face toward Camp IV.
What followed became one of the biggest summit days from the Nepal side in Everest history, with 274 climbers successfully reaching the summit in a single day.
Sometimes, one frame captures far more than a moment, it captures an entire season.
The new White House policy requiring green card applicants to apply from outside the US is a capricious attack on legal immigration. It will hurt families, leave us with fewer doctors, teachers and scientists, and hurt American competitiveness in AI.
Hello from Everest Camp IV. Can’t believe I can use internet from almost 8,000 meters this time. No time for rest, will head for summit push tonight. Wish me LUCK!
Do we need robots climbing Mount Everest?
A Chinese-made and US-backed humanoid robot could become the first bipedal machine tested on Mount Everest, but Nepal must first draft laws governing non-human expeditions
