@ZGREAT is right.
Just to add some, your sponsor will download the form, fill the data on computer, print, sign and send it to you through postal service. Your sponsor should also include copies of passport (if a citizen) or LPR document and W2 (tax information). Then you will have it when you go to your interview.
Note that you are not expected to show the CO unless you are asked for to.

in deed it is the sponsor abroad who download and fill the form, don't the sponsor expected to notarize the document (the AoS) before sending it to us?
 
though it is not our culture to celebrate thanks giving ; I assume it is a very blessed idea to have one

so my beloved forum mates

HAPPY THANKS GIVING !!
Let's all thank the almighty for all the blessings in our life !!!
Amen

hello mikder welcome

you should ask your university to write you a support letter to the embassy stating that you are there student

yes DHL service is mandatory !! Go to the above site

AOS is a good backup for your case so try to have It

bank statement is not necessary in your case since you are a student

Dear Z great , I think we have already discussed abt grade report authentication , as far as I knew none of Ethiopian university authenticates grade report , only original student copy is available and that's is only needed during the interview .

don't forget it has a validity period , I mean the time first signed and the time you showed to the interview should not more than six months
 
ZGREAT said:

That is what i am concerned about. Actually I got answer from from britsimon that 12:00 is local mid day noon time. But the two times trip of morning and afternoon to the embassy is not clear yet. Already interviewed guys may help here. What time is written on your letter?

Hi Ayanag, our apointement was at 8:00am. We submitted our documents in the morning and returned in the afternoon for the interview.
I suggest that you avoid confusions and go to the embassy at the time you are given on 2NL. Leave the rest for the embassy...
 
ayanag said:

Dear @ayanag and @rolex123, the official page if US embassy stated that the embassy is closed for certain Ethiopian and American public holidays. You should call the embassy to ask information if you are scheduled on ethiopian Christmas or ethiopian epiphany.
I'm not sure about the timing.
