Hi Zgreat, regarding medical I did mine at AMC-American Medical Center. Which is good and short but the venue is a bit far. I went on last Monday morning with my passport, 2nd NL, and two or three photo with white back ground then paid around Br 1,200.00 and gave X-ray, blood and stool sample. The receptionist gave me appointment paper for Thursday morning @ 10:00 AM to come with Br 400.oo for vaccination and to finish other vaccinations at Black Line Hospital. Then I went to Black Line Hospital with my passport and Br 65.00 for vaccination (Polio, Menegitis and the other I forget) then I got a certified card . Then On Thursday I went to AMC met the Doctor and he asked me whether if I have other sickness, if any medication I took and the like and ordered me to take vaccination. I paid Br. 400.00 and got vaccinated and got a small paper telling me that I am in good condition tnx to God and I should take that paper to the Embassy on the interview date the report will be sent less than a week time.

That is nice explanation.
But there is no stool examination at IOM. Only x-ray and blood test were ordered. In addition, they gave me only polio vaccination, nothing else.
Is there any one with experience at yared hospital?

In IOM, the medical examination goes as follow
-x-ray (for TBD test)
-blood lab test (for Syphilis)
-vaccination for polio, and
-physical examination
We didn't have stool and urine test. (for USA)
I remember immigrants to Australia were additionally asked for urine sample and blood samples for HIV test. No HIV test for US embassy applicants. Females were told not to give urine sample if they were on menstrual cycle.
Pregnant women were also informed about the side effect of x-ray and they signed for understanding.
It's all about medical examination at IOM.

hey guys how are you? Ethiopian Christmas is approaching..... how do you plan to celebrate it.

for the time being I've a question about qualifying through educational documents

while looking back to my grade 10 national exam certificate, i have noticed that i had an "F" grade in one subject, but with a sufficient average point to join a preparatory at that time (1997 E.C.). actually the subject is Mathematics. NOW the question is can i qualify with this certificate? keep in mind that i also got other documents like grade 12 national exam certificate and university degree

Hello guys. my Sis made her interview and she took the requirements of the Addis Embassy to the UAE one. the Addis Embassy no longer require the Affidavit Of Support so I advised her not to bother about it but....unfortunately, it was mandatory thing there. They gave her a paper of reminder to bring that support. had she been interviewed here, she would have been skipped that part. we are working on it now. thanks guys for your best wish and support.

I'm sorry your sisters case has been put on AP hopefully it will be resolved quickly.

The reason we beat the drum about the requirements being the requirements is because people like your sister will hear incorrect information and some people will lose their visas over that (because AP that crosses a month requires a re-allocation of the visa slot). In your case you not only misinformed your sister but you just repeated the same misinformation in your post. I don't mean to criticize you, I am just pointing out how well intended help can cause problems.

IT is not correct to say "Addis Embassy no longer require the Affidavit Of Support". Every case has to meet the standard of the CO being assured that the selectee will not become a public charge. That standard is addressed in different ways around the globe. In some embassies (such as Addis) most applicants will be asked about a host. If there is a host and particularly if that host is a close relative or friend, that will satisfy the CO. However, if there is no host then the CO might have concerns about public charge and ask for an AoS or proof of assets/savings. So, an AOS being needed in Addis would be very rare. However, the "host system" is not recognized in all other embassies - so that is a good reason to understand the real requirement and think how it applies to your case.
