From their website: Qatar Airways, Hayat Tower, Kazanches business district, adjacent to Grand Yordanos Hotel.

Make sure you check that you don't need a transit visa for Germany. Good luck on your trip!

For those traveling, check Qatar Airways. They have better prices than Emirates usually. I used it when I traveled, and my sister just came on it a couple of days ago. It's cheaper by $100-150 usually. I think my flight cost something like $470 but it was outside the peak season. Peak season...

Congratulations for those who are current. It seems like numbers are moving a month slower than last year!

I found the thread I started months ago: http://forums.immigration.com/threads/discussion-on-employment-in-the-us.320129/#post-2336087 I'm not saying that 90% are not going to do much better than minimum wage forever - most Africans hustle hard when they get here, whether that's getting...

I don't think it's right to tell people not to discuss the very real problems that educated Africans face when migrating to the US. It's misleading, because 9/10, the immigrant is more likely to face challenges getting a professional job than not. What's the use in telling them otherwise? I'm...

By the way, about the money transfer thing, people use the black market. There's no other option. Basically, you arrange to give your Birr to someone in Ethiopia while their friend in the US gives you the dollar equivalent (with a bad exchange rate obviously). Clearly, you must do this with...

Hi all, just checking in after 6 months in the US. Happy to see this thread going strong. Congrats to all those who've received their visas so far! You guys should create a spreadsheet to track members the way Ormania did for us last year.

OP, I was accepted into a US college after just finishing Premiere. I went on to complete my Baccalauréat but it was unnecessary at that point. It's been a while since I finished though, and I don't remember at what point you do your DAEU (after Seconde or Premiere?). I think that's where the...

My brother is a 22 year-old US citizen (born here), and still in college. He has filed to sponsor our parents for a green card, but we are not sure what to do for the financial sponsorship since he doesn't have the income to do it. 1. Can my parents (who are abroad) self-sponsor the financial...

You have 6 months to enter the visa from issuance (unless they issue a shorter visa due to your medicals). There's no such thing as having to enter by Sept 30. Think about it logically: the last date to receive a visa is Sept 30. So how would someone given a visa on Sept 30 get to the US...

Congrats vladek! Very happy for you that things went smoothly. I know these last few weeks are extra stressful for everyone.

I concur with Simon. That is something you can easily change at the time of the interview. I did that since at the time of my initial form I was working, but by the time of my interview, I had quit my job and was working on a different project. It was no big deal at all.

Congratulations!

You are welcome! KCC will send the documents to the embassy. If you want to correct information before your number is current, send the updated info to KCC. If you received your 2NL, however, KCC is no longer involved so you contact the embassy, or you update the information on your interview...

Hi Fikir, welcome to the forum and congratulations on getting selected! About the CO, it means that you will only get a visa if the CO approves it. In other words, KCC (which processes your file before sending it to the embassy) cannot tell you whether you get a visa or not. That only happens...

Your educational documents are authenticated by the MoE (the Examinations Records office in front of the Patriarch's residence in Amist Kilo), followed by the MoFA in Kazanchis. I've posted the exact details a few pages ago, and the 2014 DV thread has very detailed posts about it as well. Takes...

If you are Ethiopian, you can definitely get a passport from abroad. I've done that numerous times. You need to fill an application form, pay a fee and attach pictures as well copies of your old passport. In addition, they ask for your proof of legal status in whatever country you are in (at...

If your number is current in March, it will show in the February visa bulletin which will be published in early January. You (and all others current) will get your interview appointment letters (known as 2NL on the forum) within a couple of weeks of the bulletin's publication. You get it at...

That shouldn't be an issue, but if it makes you feel better though, you should get a new passport for your peace of mind.
