All Ethiopian 2015 DV Winners Meet Here!

Dear Tew,

Thank you very much for your nice explanation regarding my questions. So, even if someone fill the DS form with some mistakes (especially with the background questions), KCC will send his/her file to the Embassey if the numebr is current?
By theway, I have a wife(we get married 2 years ago) and we fill the form together. Hopefully everything will be fine. The other thing is I have already started the documents, since I need to have police certificates from two countries (In Europe).
It seems that, from the October VB, the cutoff numbers for Ethiopia is good.
Thank you very much and I will try to be an active member for the forum.

Hi Fikir, welcome to the forum and congratulations on getting selected!

About the CO, it means that you will only get a visa if the CO approves it. In other words, KCC (which processes your file before sending it to the embassy) cannot tell you whether you get a visa or not. That only happens when you present yourself at the embassy on your interview day.

The 2NL is sent to you before you go in front of the CO, so that is a different situation. When you get the 2NL will depend on when your number gets current. If you send in your DS forms very late, your number may be current before KCC is done processing your file. In that case, your 2NL could be delayed and someone with a higher number can get their 2NL before you.

As for how interview dates are assigned during the month you are current, nobody is really sure. Speculations are that sending in forms late or modifying information with KCC right before your number is current could affect it and you may end up scheduled late in the month even if your number would normally be interviewed early.

You are welcome!

KCC will send the documents to the embassy. If you want to correct information before your number is current, send the updated info to KCC. If you received your 2NL, however, KCC is no longer involved so you contact the embassy, or you update the information on your interview day.

I forgot what your number is, but it's a good idea to get all documents early. However, keep in mind that police certificates have expiry dates so make sure they will still be valid by your interview date. Their validity is usually either 3 or 6 months from issuance.

No need to unlock your form, no need to panic. Just wait the weekend. Assuming you completed your DS260 at least 4 or 5 weeks ago you should get your 2NL this weekend.
 
I concur with Simon. That is something you can easily change at the time of the interview. I did that since at the time of my initial form I was working, but by the time of my interview, I had quit my job and was working on a different project. It was no big deal at all.
