Hi Aiguo, it was simple thing: - Birth certificate for one of our child which was printed by City Government of Addis Ababa in year 2000 used only (name and father name) in the "Full Name" field of the certificate. - For our other child, whose birth certificate was printed in...

Dear forum mates, Just to break the silence, below is what I currently read on our status page but we didn't yet receive any email instructing visa pickup. "Your visa has been printed. Depending on local procedures at the location where you were interviewed, your visa will be mailed or...

Yes God-is-Love you are right. The status for all my family has now changed to "issued" (exactly one week after we submit our passport).

Thanks God-is-Love.

Thank you Rolex123 for the phone number.

Thank you God-is-Love. Today, the status for all my family is AP. I will wait and see when it changes to "issued". Are you sure the DHL office will send you an email when they get the package or may be you ask them in person or by phone?

Hi God-Is-Love, think you started packing and that is why we don't here from you these days:-) Have you already received your passport with the visa from the DHL office? How do you know it is ready? Do they call you or email? Our status started fluctuation between "Ready" and "Administrative...

Yes Rolex it is per person. For your surprise, I just checked both booking sites one by one and found a difference of 9,000 Birr per persn. Price at ET changes frequently. You can specify your flight date and places to see the price any time you like...

Hi GodisGreat, the cheapest I found is Emirates. For example I bought at the rate of 11,000 Birr for adult and 10,000 Birr for child (<12 year) to New York. Our connection time is 5 hours in Dubai (not too bad). Ethiopian costs 6,000 more if you want to fly direct.

Yes exactly! What is practically happening now in our case (not 100% sure until I see the duration on the visa) is that the validity of the medical examination is more than the six month limit. We finished our medical in the first week of November and made our interview on the 17th of...

Hi God-is-Love, I'm back again on this issue. We just came out from the embassy submitting our passport for the visa. We arrived at 12:45 PM for 1:00 PM. We waited for about 30 minutes in the queue. We were then directed to window number 8. The CO checked our finger print against the one taken...

I am referring to the embassy.

No. My 10 year old daughter was not asked to give finger print.

Yes SusieQQQ you missed some part of the story. We (my family) didn't receive our visa yet though it is already approved in view of accommodating completion of children exit exam within the six month limit.

Yes we plan to go this week. I will do all that is possible to have everything as planned.

Hi God-is-Love, that is good question. All my plan is based on the six month duration starting from the date visa will be put on our passport (printed). I also know two DV cases this year whose duration on the visa is exactly six month from the date it is offered. Otherwise, if the six month...

Congrats Waliya-ibex!! This forum has wonderful people who can help with information. Read the posts page by page and ask anything not clear. Don't go for interview with doubt in mind.

Thank you dear Britsimon. Your advise is valuable as usual.

Ya!! Congrat ZGREAT. Now start your preparations and put your docs in order.

Dear Aiguo, probably y'r right but difficult to forcast how long this artificial oil price fall continues, it needs knowledge about the politics and I'm not so good at it:-)
