Sir Edmund Hillary kept trying to put the moves on him in their tent on the side of Mt. Everest, and he would jump up and back away and say "Tanzing Norgay! Tenzing Norgay!"
True sh*t, homies.

Yeah, but has he ever climbed the north face of Uxbridge Road?

anotar: I guess NYC is still the land of opportunity if you leave your wife and kids back in Katmandu. I was pretty supportive of the guy until that part.
I take it you've never had much contact with immigrant workers, then. This is pretty much par for the course. I worked with a man from Kathmandu who sent all his money home to finance his children's educations and to have a very nice house built for the family. He was a real mensch and I always loved to hear the latest news about his kids and the progress on the house. His job in the States? He had his arm in a blazing hot tandoori oven making naan bread all day. Dirt wages in the States made for a very comfortable life for his family. He was a loving father and husband who worked his ass off for his kids.

Yeah, US immigration never has a problem with an entire family having no known source of income or family entering the country.
Pretty sure I've bought lox from this guy, paper thin as described. Cool to know his background.

Agreed, but that was 12 years ago. His children aren't that little any more but I suspect that he could have gotten them sponsored in the last dozen years at some point. I'm not implying that it would be a cake walk necessarily but I do know quite a few immigrants who were able to eventually bring their families here, and I suspect you do as well.

I am not sure any of us are in a position to judge this guy or his family. It is possible that he has tried to get his family here. It is possibly they figured out it is better off if the family is still in Katmandu over in New York for the time being. It is possible they preferred to have the kids raised in Katmandu. Or it is possible that like the majority of all of your ancestors, he came to the U.S. first and is working to the point where he can bring his family over together. Maybe he really is just a shiatty father.
People are to quick to judge others when they have no clue what the situation is. They are to quick to judge people for being in a situation, completely ignoring that many of their grand (or great (great (great (great))) grandparents) were in a comparable situation if not the exact same situation.
