All Ethiopian 2015 DV Winners Meet Here!

hi britsimon when a certain country in DV2015 has 4000 selectees does that mean there are 4000 primary applicants or that includes derivatives?
 
Someone in the forum rescheduled a November/December date and have been given an August date, which can't be anything to do with embassy capacity and puts that person in a very risky situation (since the visa slot isn't even guaranteed anymore).

No it is not capacity. What makes rescheduling tricky is that CP cases are pre-allocated visas at the point of scheduling. Those visas are allocated for the given month and once the month has ended the embassy is required to account for the visas that were allocated to them for the cases scheduled. So - they report back with issued, refused, now shows AP and transfers (to another embassy). Rescheduling beyond the end of the month means the pre-allocated slot is given back to KCC and the person is put at the end of a line. That line is controlled by KCC but those people don't seem to be prioritized in front of new cases - so selectee rescheduling is to be avoided at all costs. Many people learned that the hard way last year.

i thought each country have a maximum of 5% of the 50000. will KCC not issue the visa after a successful interview if the country has not reached its 3500 visa?

Dear the respected members,
It is known that every year most of the dv winners in Ethiopia failed because of educational documents, fake marriage and other cases.
Is there any effect on the total dv quota for our country?

It shouldn't affect the overall quota of the country, but it would give chance for high case numbers to be current before the end of year.

Still subject to the overall 50k visa limit. A country may be way under the country limit but if the global limit has been reached there are no more visas, period.

Great elaboration. Now it its well understood.
 
WELL done KCC
I think they have dealt with the floods of ds 260 forms
and now a little bit relaxed ...
They begin sending 2nd NL after 3 days of the visa bulletin release
good luck for all who got them

cheers

There is absolutely no doubt. The numbers include derivatives. I have no idea why Thomas doesn't think so, but he is incorrect - 100%.

thanks. i asked because i knew it was wrong but for the benefit of all and also for am authoritative source to throw light
 
Ohh. Well done with documents preparation.
Last Monday I went to my high school where I had attended secondary school education to authenticate grade 9 to grade 12 transcript (primary authentication of high school transcript).
Then I went to Addis Ababa education bureau (around Egypt embassy, 6 Killo) for final authentication of high school transcript.
In the afternoon, i went to the office of National office of examination (found around 4 killo in front of patriarch's residence) for primary authentication of grade 10 and 12 national exam results. I was also able to make primary authentication of my birth certificate on the same day.
The next day, Tuesday, I went to police station (forensic office) for police certificate request. They had taken my finger prints and told me to take the result on the next day(wednesday) in the afternoon. Then I directly travelled to IOM for medical examination. The lady at the reception had taken my documents and told me to pay 1,200 br including polio vaccination. Having paid the fee, she told me to come the next day(wednesday) for laboratory and x-ray, and to come on Monday(today) again for physical examination.

Then i went to ministry of foreign affairs for final authentication of national exam results and birth certificate. It took only 30 min.
The next day, Wednesday, i went to IOM in the morning for lab test and x-ray. It was simple. They had taken blood sample and send me to pioneers (on Alem building no. 2) for x-ray. Then told to come on Monday (today) for physical examination. I travelled to police forensic office to take my police certificate, and it was ok.
The coming Monday, today, I went to IOM for physical examination. They weigh my weight, measured height and BP, and told me to wait for physical examination. I was then called to room no .....where there was a male physician waiting. He told me to undress till i was left like swimmer. I obeyed only because it was must. He had "examined" me and told me that I'm healthy. I left..... Thank God.
The documents preparation took me a week. It may take more or less than a week as per specific conditions.
