LOL - I was just converting the 17000 birr into dollars and wondering if that is really an annual salary - the costs of the DV process would be impossibly high in that case...

FYI, most IT jobs around my area would exceed that in a week, some would exceed that in a day. :D

Mind you, that is only good if you haven't got yourself spending 98% of your salary.

that is hard sell topic. It is not about men vs women issue. i remember Obama calling sagging a "waste of time" its about morality.Anyway this is a DV FORUM

Indeed, a dv forum where some people here have never even visited the US and a bit of culture shock may be in store.

PS: morality is not an absolute: you do not get to decide what everyone else may or may not consider moral.

I have spent around 30000birr with my family for the process and I was complaining. I am expected to spend 100000 birr more for transportation. This is very expensive for an average person in Ethiopia.

Welcome to the USA.Its your like who make the difference.
Now something special here:$10,000 in America is absolutely nothing-The same can buy you a 2 bed roomed house back at home,Every time I think about the earnings I IMMEDIATELY CONVERT them into local currencies.
Now-back at home I had an employee whom I was paying $ 140 per month-obviously he had no other costs since its a remote place and house,transport was free.He won green card dv 2011 and relocated in 2012.He had a 3 months certificate in computer application.You know what the man had put up a $ 144,992 @ kshs 87-$.How he did it.. in 2 years still a puzzle.Even if its a loan-you only become worth what's lent to you..lol!!

But you can eat a good lunch with 2 dollar. 50000 dollar can buy you a very nice house of 120 sq. m. But Still the dv processing fee is very expensive.

kshs 87=$1
My point is:I know what the employee earned before the dv ($140 per month)
After relocating he puts up an apartment worth $144,999
Now=Banks give loans to CREDIT WORTH clients -Lay mans language after valuations if its a loan he is worth that amont
Just walk into your bank and apply for a loan and its then you will realize whats am saying.

Simon, I think you are saying the person is worth (has "net worth") of $144,999 because the bank was prepared to lend him that amount. No that is not correct. A mortgage is not the same as another type of loan. The real estate (the apartment) is the security for the mortgage. If the borrower does not pay the mortgage the bank can take the property back and recover their money.

However I did mention that I don't know how he financed this and if he was to finance this he is worth the amount.To be candid...The person bought the land through some savings I myself witnessed this as he made photocopies of his bank statements at my workplace.What I know and am sure is that 75% self financed and if he took a loan its was not a mortgage loan but what banks in Kenya give as unsecured loans as per the activity of your account and the retention amount bal bla.Am privy to the deal...

Hello friends

How much money is allowed from Ethiopia to bring to US.
Click to expand...
I read somewhere that the safest amount will be not more than 10000 $ If you carry more you will be asked from where you get it ; for example you have to show them a bank receipt or some other document ,
