any body know about this


Registering for DHL Courier Service

As of October 1, 2013, all immigrant visa applicants are required to go on-line and register for courier service provided by DHL prior to their visa interview by visiting the following website: http://usvisa-info.com/. All immigrant visa applicants must bring a printed copy of the “register for courier confirmation page” to the consular interview as evidence they have taken this mandatory step.

During the registration process, the applicant will choose one of two DHL locations in Addis Ababa as the pick-up location for any issued visa. Completing this on-line registration process is the only way for an applicant to obtain his/her issued visa. Applicants who do not register prior to their interview will experience delays in obtaining their issued visa.

Dear ntna,

I have not heard of such thing till now. After reading your case i tried to call the US embassy with this number 011-130-6000. A lady picked and transferred me to a voice mail which says "the issued visas are only to be collected through Abisinia Bank and for this purpose you will pay 50 birr after the interview". Please you also check and let us know if you hear something new.

hi natna, i have registered for DHL courier service but i do not think it is necessary, because i have received my visa through Abyssinia bank.

Hi Kid123,

Thank you for the clarification. That's what i thought as well.

Pls Kid123 one question, where did you do your medical examination, how long it took and how much it cost you?

Reply pls....

 

[natna]

[natna]

Hi natna

Really? 1,130 birr or Dollars? Where did you do your medical? how long it took, one day or two?

BTW kid123 was saying he collected his passports from Abissinia Bank, not from DHL.

No they don't send you a confirmation of receiving your forms, so there is no problem. The first thing you would get is the 2NL. Given that you sent your forms late, you may still get an interview in January, but if not, it should be February.

Congratulation to All DV winners from Ethiopia!!!

[Britsimon]

please help me out here my CN DV2014AF00019xxx is there anyone who knows about when my CN will be current based on visa bulletin?
thank you!!

Your number will be current at the next bulletin UNLESS you are from Ethiopia which currently has a special limit placed on it. The special limits are sometimes increased, but remain in place, and sometimes they are lifted completely, at least for a while. It is hard to predict what will happen for sure - no one knows. So you just have to remain patient....
