    DV2014 - Ethiopian selectees

    Hi guys, anyone heard from Jonahyoyi? I hope things went well for him. Ormania, when are you going to the embassy to finish up? If it's tomorrow, maybe we'll see each other. Cheers

    DV2014 - Ethiopian selectees

    Ormania, I don't want the list, I already have that, but it could be of use for others. Thanks for the good wishes. Only one day to go! I just need to reorganize my documents to make sure it's all in order.

    DV2014 - Ethiopian selectees

    So guys, just to confirm - we only need one photocopy, correct? Also, when putting the docs in the folder, do you separate copies from originals or are they arranged original+copy. I'm asking this because in the past when I've been to the embassy, I've seen them separate the original from the...

    DV2014 - Ethiopian selectees

    Thanks SudMD. I understood why you wanted to know. Ethiopia's number is now the same as that of the rest of AF, so we are not the ones holding back the big jumps since they even removed our separate cut-off.. Most Ethiopians (at least of this forum) are completely done or are current.

    Principal Death after Visa Issued

    Since they didn't enter the US before the principal died, I'm afraid they will not be able to activate their GC. I'm really sorry, it sounds like a double whammy :( Perhaps there is some loophole somewhere. I really feel bad for their misfortune. Ok, after googling for a bit, I found this...

    DV2014 - Ethiopian selectees

    Congratulations Hinicho! Good luck tomorrow Jonahyoyi as well. Ormania, do you think you can post the spreadsheet on our status in this thread as well? I see that you expect to get your visa before the end of the week. I hope all goes well for you - I'm sure it will all be ok. My big day is...

    DV2014 - Ethiopian selectees

    Hi guys, It seems we lost the other forum. Hope some of you will find your way here! I'm a bit upset that all that good info is lost, and that it happened 1 week before my appointment!! Thankfully, I've already finished gathering my documents. Hope we can gather some of the lost info in this...

    For education documents, go to Amist Kilo's Ministry of Education's Examinations office (in front of Patriarch's residence) with your original documents. You pay 35 Br and they'll authenticate it (stamp and signature on the back). Then you take it to MoFA in Kazanchis, and pay 100 Br. They'll...

    2NL is here!! My interview is on May 29. I'm frankly surprised by that since I submitted my forms very early. Maybe it's because I sent updated forms less than a month ago?? I was expecting an appointment within the first few days of May. Though I'm disappointed by how late it is, I'm just...

    I've read on the forum that fewer than expected Ethiopians submitted their forms, which could explain this unprecedented trend for Ethiopia. So Ethiopian numbers could all be exhausted soon. Who knows? I'm just happy :)

    Congrats to all of us who are now current! I think all Ethiopians on this forum will face the CO by end of August at the latest considering the pace of progress. We just have 4 people left to go, and the highest is 51xxx! I think June will take care of both Hinicho and Ofegi. Then the...

    Visa Bulletin For MAY 2014

    Yay, I'm finally current! :D I just got the email with the numbers and was coming in to post them too! Seems like a disappointing progression for most regions. I'm surprised at how low AF is. OC is finally progressing a bit faster, so I think the big jumps will happen from this point...

    Congrats lilita! I called KCC last night (Thursday morning in the US) and the numbers are not out yet. But they did tell me I'm likely current.

    Discussion on employment in the US

    Thank you for the PMs, but I think it would be good to post in this thread instead so that everyone gets to follow the discussions. That's an excellent point Crawf33. CVs are rarely used in the US and are usually limited to researchers. One-page resumes are the norm. Maximum of 2 pages...

    Discussion on employment in the US

    I just wanted to start this thread to discuss how to get a job once you get to the US. I've noticed in a lot of threads that people have given up on getting professional/well-paying jobs using qualifications from their home countries. Here's the thing: it's not impossible. I hate to see that...

    Welcome EGZ17, You shouldn't lose hope at all, your number is not high for Africa and quite safe. Since Ethiopia is progressing well, I think a July interview is possible for you, August at the latest. Lehw and Gett, please don't forget to share your interview details :)

    Visa approved but administrative processing

    I think it means they've decided to do some additional background check. But then again, I've also read on this forum that statuses change from ready to AP before being issued. So, I think you should wait a few days (until the date you're supposed to pick up your passport) and see if the...
