So I played around with the file after downloading it, and the numbers I get are a bit different since I decided to do it only until January 31. I filtered it until only CNs up to 13,000 show for ADD (since that was Ethiopia's limit in Jan).

My findings:

Total CN: 726
Including Family: 1,062

Out of the above,

Visas issued: 570 - from 402 CN.
AP: 77 - (47 CN)
Visas refused: 114 - (80 CN)
Ready: 301 (197 CN)


This means that 761 people went to the embassy for processing out of the 1,062 that were expected to show. The success rate (Visas issued to those interviewed) is 74.9%. The ones in AP could go either way.

28.3% of visas available were not used during that period (stuck at 'ready'). This could mean that maybe the selectees postponed their interviews or decided not to pursue their cases altogether. IMO, it could be the reason for the big jumps we've seen for Ethiopia's numbers, since they have a lot of visas available that are not being used.

There are 453 visas that are 'Ready' for February, which means there are 307 CNs between 13,000 and 19,000.

Notice that in the first 4 months, there were 726 CNs, but just in February, almost half that number will be up for interviews. So either it means that Ethiopia's CNs are concentrated above 13,000 (as opposed to some countries where numbers are concentrated towards the smaller end), or it could mean that the shutdown last November really made Ethiopia's progression lag much more than expected so the embassy will be swamped with interviews moving forward.


So that's the analysis I did. Let me know what you guys think.

Dear Ormania
Thanks for updating it. However when Ethiopia remains out of exception box in the up coming months, which is most probably to happen, the CN of 40xxx up to 50xxx will be processed in June and July. The months of August and September are for CN above 60000. I am sure there are Ethiopians with a case number more than 80xxx.

Hi ofegi,

This is a game of guessing, no one knows when exactly it will happen. I know that has been the trend in the last years but this time round am having this bad feeling that our number might slowdown as i am observing more Ethiopian case numbers in the range of 30-40k. I wish it to be your way be doesn't seem. The next VB is crucial to solve such puzzle. For now i remain with my estimation. :eek:

Wow, that's wonderful! when you get your ticket also let us know.

I really like the way u keep everyone's CN in ascending order and updating it each time one changes.keeping every everyone in the loop.keep it up ormania!
 
@lehw,

I collected mine through DHL. FYI, you'll receive an advance notice of the readiness for pick-up of the visa and the other parcel via your email address. If you register for the courier service in advance, your visa will be ready for pick-up by the third day of the interview.

Good luck!

Hi ison,

Should i register now? it seems the account creation will allow you to create DHL account so long as you have an email. What do you say?

@Ormania u can register but to finish (come to an end) it need appointment date, don’t worry when u receive 2nl u will do it.
 
@Ormania,

Like 1danny said above, you should register only after you have received your appointment letter. (As part of the registration process, you will have to provide your appointment details.)

This is the link http://usvisa-info.com and it ask Full name for all family, Passport No. , appointment date and time, and case No. then u can choose one of two DHL Location in Addis as the pickup location for any issued visa.
 
Finally got my ESLCE certificate authenticated. Thanks SO MUCH to Ormania for the detailed instructions posted somewhere in the beginning of this thread! It really made things simple and easy. :)

Just to repeat:

- ESLCE (or other school document) authentication:

a. Go to the Examination Records office in front of the Patriarch's residence. It costs 35 Br. If you go early in the day, they'll tell you to come back later to pick it up, and then you have to wait 15-30 min until they give it to you. What I did is to go at 3:30pm, that way I didn't have to do a second trip. They'll do it right there instead of giving an appointment - about 1 hr wait maximum. Make sure you get there by 3:45pm at the absolute latest, because the cashier leaves at exactly 4:00pm. They'll make you come back the next day if that happens.

b. After you get it authenticated, go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Consular Affairs bureau in Casanchis. If you went to the MoE in the afternoon like me, you won't have time to do this the same day. It's right next to the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. Pay 150 Br. It takes just a couple of minutes if there's no line. They do it simultaneously with the payment.
