Yes I paid 170 $ two years ago, you can call IOM and ask them for the current price.

2. Institution attended refers to the school attended, not the organization that issued the certificate.

Hello dears,
Congratulations to all of us for winning the dv lottery and nice to meet you here in this forum and i'm happy for sharing information and ideas over here.
i'm also dv 2017 winner and wanted to ask some questions. while filling the dv and ds-260, i filled that i'm masters degree holder. however, i have 2 years commitment to my employer & couldn't get it to my hand unless i finish my commitment or i pay. i only have grade report of each semester and a letter written to my employer. so what do u suggest me? since i'm employee i don't have that amount to pay. i wanted to borrow some money and to pay but it's a great lose if i fail during the interview. so- i'm in dilemma whether i should borrow and pay or not. so-
1. is that possible to use the grade report and the letter written to my employer from my institution?
2. is there an option that the transcript can be sent to the embassy directly from the university?
3. can i explain the case to the COs during the interview stating that if the only means i can fail is the MSc certificate, that i can bring it?
4. what other option can i use from your exprience?
this are the questions thanks to your reply.

1. u have to go back & get stamped on back of z transcript before going to regional education bureau or then foreign minister.
2. it helpful to get 8th grade certificate authenticate but it is not essential. If u attend school in Addis, u can authentic at Addis ababa educational bureau around 6 kilo university. it takes 30 minute and 10 bir.

I'm totally confused. You need copies of your high school certificate, most important, and then your university transcript. Nothing from your your employer will help. Why does the university send the transcript to the embassy and not just to you then you take it in??

You sat for an exam organized by the National Organization for Examination to obtain your ESLCE certificate - it doesn't mean you attended the institution correct, or is this a specific institution you attended for one year in order to obtain your ESCLCE certificate?
Sorry if the question was not clear. it was to mean i'm lecturer in one institution and the transcript of the masters programme is not given to me. i agreed with the university who sponsored me to serve for two years and didn't finish the commitment of two years. so unless i finish my commitment of serving two years or pay, the university will not give the diploma of MSc programme to me.
but, while applying the dv and filling the ds-260, i included that i'm masters degree holder and i heard that every doc filled in the application should be present for the interview.
so is that possible to bring the transcripts of high school and university BSc degree only? what if i leave the MSc transcript?
i hope it's clear now... thanks.

Yes, it's ok, they might ask why you listed MSc (then explain why you cannot bring the diploma ) but you only need high school to qualify for DV. That and the BSc will be more than enough.

Hey Solome! congrats and welcome
Here is how I manged to pass the interview with out having a transcript, I had a letter from my univeristy stating that I have completed my education"not a transcript or a certificate" also please keep an ID copy you have used as a student, on top of that you can take your year book to show them as you have graduated with the class, in case they ask for supporting documents.
P.s the most important document is high school certificate (notorized).

Hey,
Yes you need to go to your school to notarized first and the second one will be at MOFA,
You don't need to notarized grade 8 certificate.
Grade 10 and grade 12 transcripts and certificates need to be motorized
Transcriptso are notarized at the school which issue them
Certificates notorized at MOE( in front of silase church)
Good luck!
The institution Name is XXXXX i attended for one year in order to obtain My ESCLCE certificate i have fill in ds 260 ? Yes i sat for an exam organized by the National Organization for Examination to obtain your ESLCE certificate - it doesn't mean i attended the institution correct
Hello ZGREAT, thank you so much to ur warm welcome and congrats... thanks again for your concern and reply. i have notorized high school certificate and a letter that states i'm graduated BSc degree from that university.
but for my MSc programme, i only have a letter in Amharic which is written to my institution where i'm working currently that states i have completed my programme. it is not written to whom it may concern but to the specific institution. so what if i let that letter to be translated to English? is that okey & they can accept it?
will the Ministry affair stamp for that letter ? regarding the year book i only have for my BSc degree only, for my MSc programme we had no year book since we were busy & had no connection with the committee who prepared that one.
what if i only present the notorized high school and BSc transcripts during the interview?
as i tried to mention it in the previous post i filled both the dv and ds-260 as i'm MSc holder. so- will it affect to the interview result not presenting the MSc certificate since i already included it in the ds-260? does it affect if they know i have a commitment (responsibility) to serve my employer for some months? actually i will pay the remaining commitment if i will be approved with the VISA.
waiting to your response and thanks again!
