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.

Hello
case No 2015AFxxxxxxxx9

there are two questions i need to ask.
1. i got an email, which mentioned that, my interview schedule date is re scheduled from Jan 6/2015 to 12/2015 because it is Gena eve. Is it the right message from Embassy of America from Addis Ababa?and is there any one who have the same case as i do?
2. i have degree and work experience... is it necessary to authenticate the work experience?, and do i need to go with it for interview?


thanks

welcome @koket.
About the email, yes it must be if it came from
"Addis, DV" <AddisDV@state.gov>
There are other applicants who are rescheduled to January 12 (previous January 6) and to January 13 (previous January 7).
About the documents, authentication of work experience is not a requirement. But you better have it as you go for interview. It may help you to support your financial proof (work experiences can indirectly indicate amount of income or savings).
I think you are qualified through education.
 
Hello God-is-Love ,
so what exactly is the required 'authentication' . I meant , just authenticating the original document itself by a seal and signature at its back that it indeed is TRUE ? or only authenticating the copy of it as a true copy of the original so that it would be then given to the embassy .
Thank you !

you are right. Signature and stamp at the back pages of original documents. As @ZGREAT said, you also need to copy the authenticated documents to present at interview time.

@ethSelam though @ZEGREAT explained in the previous pages, just to say few two points
there is a big difference between authenticated and certified documents
authenticated document - is done on back side of any original document (usually education , marriage, birth certificates ) which u need to take it with you wherever you go and helps not to get back to your home land to authorize the document again when the documents is required.
certified document - is done on the photo copy of the original document and helps when you are not able to present or your presence is not required . For instance to apply further education or to show family relation etc you only need to send certified documents before you get visa rather than sending your original documents because if anyone tried a certain process and failed after sending his original authenticated document it's very difficult to retrieve those documents again, that's why certifying on the photo copy of the original document required if you lose u have your original documents u can copy as many copies as you want .

this is from my experience anyone can stand for correction.

regarding the authentication of original documents, for instance some universities refuse to authenticate the original degree or student copy,
rather they choose to authenticate the copy of the original degree and student copy, how can we deal with this?

@amelekuru
1. which university for example? all universities (private and governmental) in Ethiopian under ministry of education they r obliged to do the authentication for their degree or diploma .
2. no university authenticates student copy in Ethiopia and not required for dv interview.

In case it helps, University degree (private/public) is authenticated by HERQA of MoE (Higher Education Relevance and Quality Agency of the Ministry of Education.) Their office is Shiro Meda in front of US Embassy.

you are right @MB1xxx but some university no need to go to MoE, they need to authenticate the document in their university registrar bureau, I have done mine first at addis abeba university registrar bureau and then Ministry of foreign affair that's is it.
