This is the problem we’ve been running up against. I think we figured out Nepali can transit through Doha, Qatar as long as their passport is valid, with no six month rule, and they are traveling on a single airline ticket. But I’m still terrified I’m going to muck it up.

His Nepali passport is valid until May 2024, so I think he has to go back to Nepal to renew asap while it is still valid if the US consulates aren’t functioning. He doesn’t have any Nepali friends in US, though I’ve been trying to encourage him to find community.

My Nepali husband's passport expires in May. He has a 2-year conditional green card that expires in October. We would like to travel outside the US to vacation. We followed the steps listed on the Nepal passports website for setting up an appointment at the Nepali consulate in the US (NY or DC), for him to renew his passport, but there are no appointments available ever at either location. No one answers email or phone calls. Several other countries have appointments, so the website is working. My understanding is that he doesn't need an active passport to renew his green card later this year, but please let me know if this is incorrect. If he can't renew, then do we just never travel outside the US until he gets citizenship? Does he/can he return to Nepal to renew the passport? I also think I understand that he can return to US with only a green card, but most countries won't let him in without a green card and Nepal passport with 6+ months before expiry (I know there are different rules for entry in each country, also dependent on nationality).

For future reference, why not Delta, Spirit or Turkish? We use Turkish to travel regularly.
