but what if the host and sponsor is different , CO might interested on sponsor not the host, I am planning to have I-134 for Maryland but host at Dallas, the CO might think the sponsor might not be genuine if he is not a host ? I mean if someone get the support and host at different place.

rolex,

The CO, i think, use the word "host" and "sponsor" interchangeably. What they meant by "what is your r/s with the sponsor" is like "what is your r/s with the host". If the CO was asking about the sponsor looking at the I-134 then it would mean yea the "the sponsor". But without that it mean the host.

I still advice you to have the I-134, but don't submit it with your other documents. Only show it if you are asked for it. That was what i did. You can make your buddy from Maryland fill you the I-134 and state on it that he is gonna help you financially. But your host at Dallas might accommodate you. I see no problem with that. Never heard anywhere such thing as sponsor and host should be in one place.

I stand for correction.
CHEERS!

Just tell the CO at the interview that you want to change the address. Or you can tell the CBP offoviak at your POE that you want to change it. Easy. Stop stressing and nothing to be confused about.

any body answer me pls, Is marrage certificate and Birth certificate needs authentication?
Click to expand...
As I've learnt from previous winners, it is not necessary to authenticate birth and marriage certificate. But, it is good authenticate these certificates just to be on the safe side,
I'm not sure if it is possible to authenticate them at every 'kifleketema' (as ZGREAT said). What i know for sure is - the municipality branch located inside sheger menafesha is doing this. They put their stamp at the back and send you to Foreign affairs for another stump.

Welcome mane. You've come to the right place to know more about DV process.
As ZGREAT said, please tell us your case number and date of DS260 submission so that it may be possible to tell you when your interview will be.

hey love
I have done that for my self
I went to our kifleketema and they told me to authenticate first at the main office of vital stastics office with will take care of marriage and birth certificate issuance they did it for me right away and told me to go to MOFA for final authentication ;

one way or another the important thing is to certify it's genuineity so go for it where ever it is possible

Yes you can change. You can do it at your interview verbally to the CO, he will update your file. Or at your port of entry the immigration people will do it for you. The first question they asked me was is this address still the address you want the green card to be mailed to you? if you say no, they will change it right there. That is not a big deal rolex,

My friend this is serious. You NEED to authenticate both certificates. I just went to my bed room and checked where i did the authentications for both. The Marriage certificate is given at Kifleketema and authenticated at Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Birth certificate is given at Woreda/Kebele and Authenticated first at Kifle Ketema and then At Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

An uthenticated document might place you on AP until it is verified or deny you the visa. Be careful about it.

CHEERS!
