That should be the last status before issuance as much as it is not the real "AP" About DHL, yes they send emails as they receive passports and packages.

Usually yes. Some guys took with in four days. But January was overloaded. There were many holidays on which the embassy was closed. They also experienced system failure for a day. That means the effective working days were less than what was supposed to be.

Yes. The embassy instructs you to add the derivative (infant or spouse) on the form. I don't know why the CO gave a web page for an applicant to add his baby on DS-260 form (that I saw in the embassy). I didn't see what the page was. But he told him to go to the web page he had given him and to...

Dear @Ebro, medical examination for infants is easy. At IOM, Only physical examination is done for kids and infants. No x-ray and blood test at all. They may give your child additional vaccination. Anyways, i don't think you will face any problem. When I was there for my interview, i saw similar...

Sorry for the late reply @MB1xxx. I was not able to use my mobile internet. My visa status is now changed to 'Issued' after many fluctuations between 'ready' and 'administrative processing'. I'm waiting for an email from DHL as my passport gets ready to pick up. In addition to my status, i also...

exactly. The middle east airlines are cheaper than other, even ethiopian, airlines. But most of them have one or more connections/transit. As the number of connections increase, the price gets lower.

I'm not sure about DV medical expiration date, but i found the following for Refugee/Asylee following-to-join family members at www.ethiopia.usembassy.gov/mobile//visas/refugee/asylee-families.html it says - Medical examinations are required for all follow–to-join asylum relative visa...

Does it mean the embassy considers medical expiration date when they print the visa? Or they just put 6months period from the issuance date?

That's good @Ebro. Good luck for the big day!

That's nice @ZGREAT. Keep going

Oh. Thank God. That is great news to hear. One thing i need to remind again and one question... I don't know if I'm over concerned. I was reading the following page. Www.travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/interview/after.html It says When You Should Travel - You...

you need to count from the date you made your medical examination.

what about for military service? Does it have age limit? I mean after LPR status.

Does it mean age 26 is the upper limit?

If we don't take in to account the ready (not interviewed) cases, the refusal rate is 12.3% and 5.8% on AP. Is there any other country that has as such high refusal rate?

Oh. That is not promising. We are having minimum of 6.17% refusal rate (assuming all AP and ready cases will be approved). We also have 2.88% on AP (again assuming all ready cases won't fall on AP)

Hi friends. Are you facing similar situation as I am facing on CEAC status? It still bounces between "administrative processing" and "ready". It has been fluctuating for about 14 days. I feel the term "administrative processing" is not the AP we have known commonly here. I think I should wait...

Good for this thread. But, does anybody know the national data for Ethiopia? I couldn't see the global data from @Britsimon's blog. My poor mobile. Is it in .xls format?

I didn't see them taking finger prints of children.

Yes. $330 per person. The question is one way of checking your financial capacity. If you are good enough to pay the fee by yourself, it is a sign that you have some savings. By the way, "who paid the application fee for you?" doesn't mean "who physically come to the embassy to pay for you?". It...
