> My name is Soni Thapa Oli and I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Sociology at Texas Woman’s University. I am conducting a research project that examines the adaptation experiences of Nepalese living in the United States. This study will provide insights into the forces that determine the adaptation experiences of Nepalese in the United States.
>
> As a participant in this study, you will be asked to spend about 30 minutes of your time in completing an online survey. You must be at least 18 years of age and be a Nepalese living in the United States. You will have a month (August 2- September 2, 2010) to complete this questionnaire.

> Dear Participants,
>
> About a month ago, you received an email-message asking you to assist me in assessing the “Adaptation of Nepalese in the United States” by filling out the online survey. If you have filled out the survey, THANK YOU!
>
> If you have not had a chance to take the survey yet, I would request you to take some time (about 10) to fill out my survey questionnaire given the importance of the study.
>
> This study is the first large-scale survey research of Nepalese in the United States. It will offer systematic information about the cultural, structural, marital, identificational, and receptional adaptation of Nepalese in America. In so doing, this study will fill a large gap in the literature on Nepalese in the United States, and will also contribute to the literature on South Asian Americans and Asian Americans related to the various aspects of adaptation processes. The findings will help shed light on the adaptation, assimilation, multiculturalism, and transnationalism of new immigrant groups. The findings will have significant policy implications for improving service to the Nepalese community in the United States, and for reducing and preventing prejudice and discrimination against Nepalese in America.
