Perhaps the US differs from other countries.
My connecting flight in FRA got cancelled - couldn't get out until the next day and apparently couldn't overnight in the airport. The good news was that it was mechanical and we all got meal/lodging vouchers.
Except...there were announcements because apparently a small number of pax on my flight did not have a visa to enter Germany. I have no idea how they were accommodated - they clearly were allowed to board the flight in the first place without a visa for the connecting country.

Didn't want to assume . I'm surprised they let you do that, though I can understand how getting a visa would be a pain in the *** in that instance. There is actually a Brazilian consulate in Kathmandu: https://brazil.visahq.com/embassy/nepal/

As for them getting a visa, based on Nov 2015 experience: apparently you don't need to do the interview and can mail in the application if you've had a visa within a certain time period. But she did get grilled pretty well at immigration when she came to visit a few weeks ago...
