Dear sadat13 please understand, i will not get bored to help someone in need. It is just that we all participate here while working or like you studding so we may be somtimes short of time to give detailed replys. Ok?

Coming to your question, as it show in my previous post indicating the procedures to authenticate educational certificates you need to authenticate the transcript for grade 10 & 12. But one of our forum mate who had interview this year reveled that there is no need to authenticate the grade 10 & 12 transcripts. So we are left with two choices, to authenticate or not! But what i will do is, if i were you, to go to my regional bureau and do the authentication because i don't want to give the CO any chance of denying my visa!

If you go to Kasanchis at Ministry of Foreign affairs document authentication office to authenticate your transcript, they will not. Because you need to authenticate it first at the regional level.....Hope i gave you clear picture now.

So what do you think you will do? BTW when is your interview?
 
Hi..... yeah ormania you are right

Yeah you are right...currently i'm in the city to get my transcript..but i asked my freind in addis to check personaly at kassanchis whether or not the authentication is necesary at regional level but he said it's not necessary &what i need to do is to present those documents at 5 kilo then to kassanchis...my interview on february 5 but i already prepared birth,unmarried..etc

I think we misunderstood each other.

1) Transcript means the paper which caries your score during your (4 in old curriculum and 2 in the current) physical years score in each subject. Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not authenticate this paper if you take it as it is, unless you authenticate it in the regional level. This document is not needed at the embassy but better have it with you, for the obvious reason.

2) 12th grade certificate (Ethiopian School Leaving Certificate Examination, ESLCE ) or the current 10th and 12th grade certificate is what the embassy need you to present as a high school document. This document is administered by the National Examination Organization located at 5killo. So this NEO has to authenticate it first before you take it to Ministry of Foreign Affairs. MoFA will not authenticate it unless NEO do so first.

I hope we understand each other better now.

Congrats for your Feb. 5th interview date, wishing you the best.

BTW, what is your case number?

When he took that certificate to the embassy they throw that paper on his face and refused to accept it. I want to know what you police certificate looks

Dear binafana, take it easy man. Your case number is high and i advice you not to apply for police certificate before you receive your 2nl (second notification latter) because it expires after sometime. So be patient about it. BTW the police certificate is issued from the police department located near Black lione hospital and behind Immigration office, not court.
 
lehw said:
Hi,is that must paid USCIS fee by my sponcers before my interview date?thanx
Click to expand...

Dear lehw the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) fee is a fee to process your Green Card which will allow you to work in the U.S and it is paid only after you got your visa. You will not pay the USCIS fee before your interview. Yourself, your sponsor or anybody can pay it.

Hi lehw,

Who is the winner? you or the wife? The embassy only look through the primary/winner applicants documents. ID,Passport,Birth Certificate, Educational Certificate,Police certificate and Marriage certificate (if married) of the primary applicants are needed. For the wife she should present one copy of the Marriage certificate, her birth certificate, police certificate and the passport (don't forget photographs and money as well lol). In short, no need for your wife's experience and educational certificate.

Hi lehw,

Its ok. Take it easy. I have same problem, guess what, on my grand father not only that on my father not only that on my own! And also i have two ESLCE results. I took the second one to improve my math from D and i did improved it to C. Better present the first one since you have already indicated the time you finished high school on your DS form. But if the first one does not have enough passing grades (i.e. 5 passing grades in five subjects) you should authenticate both and take them.

National Examination Organization will never correct the spelling mistakes. I had been to the head of NEO (Ato Araya) and was told not to think about it. Instead i was advised to take my certificate to woreda court and make an affidavit for the document. i.e. you will take your kebele ID or passport and tell them that my real name is this and the name written on my exam result and i are same person. So they will confirm that to you in a written paper. So on your interview date when you go, go along this paper. Don't submit it unless they asked for it. Because most people are saying that since we (Ethiopians) are careless about our documents written in another language other than Amharic, the U.S. Embassy in Addis seem not to be harsh on us (Mind you i have not confirmed this from the embassy but people confirmed it).

So my dear friend relax. :cool:

Dear binafana, this is what the US embassy requirement is|:-

You must possess one of the following as evidence of your educational qualifications:

An Ethiopian Leaving Certificate Examination (12th grade) showing at least 5 passing grades, (or)
A 12th grade ESLCE and a Teacher Training certificate, (or)
Proof of graduation from the Ethiopian Military Academy

Passing grade mean D and above. F is not acceptable. During the 90's we use to take 6 subjects not 5.

You can follow the link below and see it for your self.
