On behalf of ‘Nepal Forum’ of Nepalese Association in Southeast America (NASeA), I take this pleasure to invite you all in NASeA Talk Session on the topic of Trump’s Immigration Policy and how it affects Nepali Community. As we all have recently heard a lot of concern regarding the new US immigration status. It’s a fact that Nepal is not in the Red Flag but it has been a talk of the town that going forward does this really impact the other nation and nationality around the globe.

Though we don’t have any obvious reason to worry but the notions and rhetoric of new era aftermath of Obama, it is very important to be safe, secured, and well-informed regarding the new US Immigration updates to us and our family members.

Furthermore, what will be the Temporary Protective Status (TPS) will look like in current context. Please be advised to attend this time-relevant talk session by our immigration related Attorney at Law Khagendra Gharty Chhetry on Sunday, February, 12, 2017 at 11 AM EST.
