All Ethiopian 2015 DV Winners Meet Here!

I don't think filling I - 134 form is necessary, I remember 8 persons waiting for interview(3 couple and 5 single) , None of us filled i-134 , 1 couples and 2 singles got visa before me, one girl to return back after some time ( b/se she did not submit transcript, and one couples denied a visa( I don't know why)
I give every document at the morning including my degree , work experience and letter from the school which I learn now. They return all documents above grade 12 before the interview( when I told to pay $330.
about ds 260 confirmation page , first I give her with out that , then she called me and ask for confirmation page.

ya , I think as per abcedefg , it is better to have I-134 document and it would be best if you got the affidavit from host, because as per abcdefg they ask you a detatil about the host, and if you have I-134 from the host you have their details on the form, because sometimes it is boring to ask detail profile for a person who live in USA. But if they send us I-134 it is very easy to know their details that would probably be asked during the interview just like abcdefg.

Congra abcdefg ....& thanks for sharing ur success story.
In my case, I am planning to request someone in USA issue I-134. I just wanted to stay safe as I will be accompanied by my wife and two kids. Do any of you have idea/experience about the risk that issuing I-134 will have on my sponsoring parties.

by the way abcedef , is it because u applied on work experience bases? does the lady require the work experience document if you qualify on education bases?

Oh. Very kind idea. But, don't forget to gather information about your host, like what he/she is working and type of relationship you have with your host. As we have learnt from previous interview experiences, knowledge about host has been very important.

Thanks so much God-Is-Love, I will do that.

Dear my forum team mates I am going to tell you the details of my interview ; sorry for my language if it is not ...
I arrive at Addia Abeba US embassy around shiromeda at 1:15 local time.At the gate the security personel asked me my 1stNL & 2nd NL ; and passport.
After that I enter to second security check. I give my phone and other metal materials to them and they give me number to retake my properties.
Pass through second security check ( gate like air port). Then I enter into the embassy.The lady on the embassy gave me paper to arrange my documents in order.( There were other 3 Dv winners before me).
She took our documents after ~40 minutes ;she asked for documents which are not fullfilled likeDS260 confirmation letter. Then gave me a paper to read and sign and pay 330Usd or 6600eth birr when I return on the afternoon(6:30LT).
I just leave the embassy and go to some where to see copy of my documents.Return to embassy at 6:15 LT ; at the first gate asked to show the paper I took to read and sign and kebele I.D(yetadese mehon alebet); pass via similar way as morning.Around 7:30 my name called and told to pay 330usd and she return all orginal and copy documents above grade 12; I do that give finger print ; wait till my name called for interview.( at this time I see 9 Dv winners including me) my named called at 5th place ; The CO and an ethiopian lady gave me a nice greeting ; I returned in the same fashion.The lady asked me to ask a questions (translating what the CO is asking)
Q.till which grade you study?

Where did you work ? what did you work?

Finally she gave me my orginal documents and yellow paper saying your visa is approved ; she told me to create DHL address and it ends.
Sorry for making it too long

As long as the person is honest in what they write in the I-134, there is absolutely no risk and no obligation created by the I-134. The sponsorship is not legally enforceable, only legal "danger" is supplying false information (perjury).
 
What a surprise!
The visa bulletin (VB) for January cut off is published. It jumped to 12000 for Ethiopia. 3000 increment. Great progress.
 
Congrats abcdefg! Welcome to America.

Guys my friend had the interview on 6th November and granted. He is single and graduated from AAU. He didn't have the I-134.
He is not member of this forum but i have been helping him through the process. They asked him the following questions.

1) Have you gone to the University
2) What subject you studied
3)Are you married? Have children? Do you have girlfriend ?
4) What are you doing now? Show me your work place ID.....
5) Who is your sponsor? What is your relation with your sponsor?
6) Who helped you to pay the $ 330 ?

I thought it might help you.

CHEERS!

Q5 and q6 are both financial support questions, if the answers to those questions are not good then the I134 may be needed.

The host is providing support - so if your relationship to the host is strong you are unlikely to be asked about an I-134.
