Congratulation Lehw!! Wishing you all the best in your interview. Hope you will tell us your interview experience.
I just read the link and agree with Tew. This is for Immigrant Visa applicant and the procedure is different from DV. If you look at the paragraph which speaks about documents (please read the below paragraph), it talks about documents sumbmitted to National Visa Center which is not the case in DV; just only forms submitted to KCC. I am sure they failed to update this section for DV applicant purpose but included it in the DV instruction. This is my assumption. Let us hope one of us will get exact answer directly from the Embassy.
"If you have not already submitted original documents of the following to NVC (National
Visa Center) please bring them along with the photocopy for the interview.
Valid Passport(s)
Adoption decree (s) if applicable Marriage certificate if applicable Evidence of Financial support Death Certificate(s) if applicable Divorce Certificate(s) if applicable
Police certificate(s) if applicable Court Records (if applicable) Medical Examination Information Evidence of relationship
The Appointment letter
Birth certificate(s)
Thanks Mercy. Could you please share the email address you used to contact them? Is it the AddisDV one?
I'll also ask them to see if I get the same response and also ask the guy who just got his visa and let you all know.
Hi Sadat
I've read that you only need to authenticate at the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs so it shouldn't be a problem since you are already in Addis.
hi, people. . .

I enter in embassy, on December, 18. around 2:00 am I reached on embassy gate. After 5 minute waiting i enter inside the embassy compound. Then, I gave my all electronics material and key to the security grad. After that, he gave me a number. after this incident, another security grad ask me to pass in a door. Still the inspection not ended, another security Gard searched my whole body by some devise. Directly after this process I opened a door and go to visa section room. there are so many Ethiopian and other nationality waiting. In this room there are two women asking you what your case is? then if u r a dv case they give u some big "classer" it help to arrange ur documents in order. next to that, i arrange my whole document as the paper said and give back to the women. afterward she give me a come back letter at 1:00pm. i left the embassy with 15 minute on the morning. it mean 2:20am. The paper give like a warning. it briefly state that if u do not fulfill the document the money you paid will not be refund. it also express educational requirement for dv applicant.
after i went to home and take some rest i come back again around 6:45 local time. i show the paper she gave to me i enter in embassy. similar kind of inspection undertake at a door on after noon. we began waiting for the interview. at that time, i searched a person who have similar paper like me. I go to there and began to chat with them.Their case is dv. Then, our name began called on speaker. one of the boy case is: he enter in embassy two weeks ago. he told me he is first year student at Adma University. He told me the interview is so simple. the officer ask me six or seven question. then he told me they need another time to check the documents. they give him a white paper is say administrative process and u can come back after two weeks from Monday to Thursday only at afternoon. his name called and he go to window three. we still waiting. another boy look very terrified. I do not know exactly why. he worry a lot. i told him do not worry every thing will be alright. Just put your faith on Jesus Christ. HE make everything fine. now we look a long time friends. we chat a lot about his and my status, all dv story and so many topics. we stay around 30 minute. Then his name called on window six. he went to there. Ethiopian women ask him to give finger print and to pay the fee. after five minute my name also called on window six. directly i went to there. she is polite. she ask my age. i told her. after ward she said u r under 25 years old. So, you need to sign this form. the form is about ur obligation to register any postal office when u went to UNITED STATE TO ENGAGED IN MILITARY SERVICE AT A TIME OF WAR. I agree with her and I signed the form. The form said that, if u r not to do so the penalty is $250,000 and five year prison. this all thing will be happened: if a visa is granted.
after that, she told me to wait. i began to chat with my friend, he come back after he paid 6,280 birr. At this time other interview began, like marriage, education and other.some went happy other sad. mixed emotion reads on the face of the interview. another lady told dv case wait.
I called to window six again and she ask me did u undertake medical. i said yes. then she told me why ur result is not here. i told it need further diagnosis. she said, well that is great, give me your finger print. i gave all my ten finger print infront of window. Then, she said you can back at Tuesday and Thursday after noon 7:00 local time.when you finished the medical. i asked her did i paid the fee? she said, no, you paid when you finished your medical. in addition, she said all are stated on the paper .At last she gave me a paper. i thank her and went out the interview room.

AT THE INTERVIEW the officer may ask you who is ur sponser? where you stay? and sometime they ask what relationship do you have? however these and other similar questions asked because of to avoid any public charge after u enter in US. Furthermore, they don't need and financial and tax report.
wait patiently.........

Dear gett, congratulations!
Am happy for you. What you will do is go to one of the authorized medical centers along with your 2nl, 2 passport size photographs and money. They will give you appointment for your medical and you will do it accordingly. No need to inform the embassy. As for the police report go directly to the police department near Immigration (go with your 2nl so that they will not delay your clearance paper, carry also photographs) according to many it will not take that much time.
Don't forget to share your all experiences from the medical, to police report, and your interview....we will be passing to other winners if there is new information that you will give us.
Good luck!

hi
For the first one, to get police certificate, your passport copy and the second notification latter are mandatory: u don't need any supportive evidence. just go to police office around TIKUR ANBESA HOSPITAL.
for second question, It is better to authenticate your 10th and 12 transcript for safety. go to ur privious highschool u finished 10th and 12 grade. after that go to Foreign affair office around KAZANCHIS for authentication.
good luck
