Cool! @Sm1smom, it sounds sensible. I was in "no comment" mode when reading it.

That must be normal. I don't think they keep passport of those who are under AP (at least I know my personal case where we were given back our passport).

Yes I agree Mom, they are human beings and there are lots of things for stress, in fact equally for people at "IMO" (what ever IMO is). However, we are in the era where it is the service that goes to where the customer is rather than the customer going to look for the service. There are a lot of...

Hi @zeru, it sound by far better now!! Your initial posting was frustrating. The most important message is the one on the last line in your post here. They took "copy of your ID" means, for me they are going to check with your employer if what you presented is genuine or not. Another proof for...

Interesting! What type of system is this? Really poor customer service. Asking to apply again is not a problem as long as it won't create complication of producing duplicate SSN for a single person. Thanks @Sm1smom for the tip.

@abi328, we have two legs doesn't mean we can climb two trees at the same time. Please also re-read my post below.

Seconded .... abi is making it "wuha kida wuha melis" (like "rocking back-and-forth endlessly")

Hi @amelekuru, try your best to pay this fee before you leave, just to get peace of mind. But if it is impossible for you to pay now, my understanding is that paying after arrival is also possible and the only inconvenience is delay in your plastic Green Card. AS you will have temporary green...

@ZGREAT, that is wonderful plan!! You know, many young compatriots like you, usually, get lost running behind $s and regret at last, that is why education comes to mind when I saw your picture !! I am now crystal clear about the removal:)

Dear @ZGREAT , I am happy to see what and how you are doing. Cheers, Yimechih! At your age, if you want to "life" a good future life, I strongly advise you to go for further education or professional licensing. By the way, yesterday I briefly saw your picture and today it is no more there...

Thank you mom, I am now taking a break in my office with the multilingual version of the "Let it Go" clip by Idina and Jennifer (on YouTube).

Did you also check Emirates as an option? I bought five ticket for about 54k birr. By booking online and paying at their office (Denbel City Center), you will also save $60 on each ticket. Transit is only at Dubai and it takes 4 to 5 hours, night time.

I don't see what to re-read mom, in fact if you re-read my post, I didn't oppose what Simon said but simply complemented because I haven't seen "grand father's name" in the equation:-) Please don't forget that the context of our discussion is about "grand father's name".

Modification for Ethiopians: Surname = family name = lastname= grand father's name @Britsimon we don't have/use all the three in Ethiopia and that is why it became a topic of discussion.

Hi @rolex123, yes I have seen the picture. It was the same person we met on our second visit. We had only partial interview with him and second round finger print. It was more of advise we got from him.

@abi328 the concept of Grand Father's name as Surname works only For Ethiopians. If you are not Ethiopian, please ignore this information. If you are Ethiopian, you know that we don't have or use Surname/Family Name locally. However, since last 8 years or so the Citizenship Office puts our grand...

Hi @Fikir12, YES, if you can get a seal of the embassy of the country where your document is issued on the translation, that should be fine (authentication at embassies serve equivalent to our authentication at MoFA for local documents). Some years back (not for DV purpose), I have experience...

Our Grand Father's name which they call Surname (Family name) is the most important name for DV or when it is outside Ethiopia in general. Assuming you are in Ethiopia, you can ask DHL Office on one of the numbers below if they have something to say. 01 1662 1600 01 1661 4281 01 1613 569

Below is my translation of the above case of @selina90 as promised for our non-Amharic speaking members: 1) We are called to a window 2) Seeing a baby in our hand, the CO asked if we want to take the baby with us, we then answered No 3) The CO then shouted asking – “Why we leave the baby...
