All Ethiopian 2015 DV Winners Meet Here!

I have been eagerly reading all posts. I am a little concerned though about the "police report" requirement if you have lived in another country. Has anybody else lived outside of Ethiopia for more than 12 months (like to study in Europe). I studied in holland 15 years ago and worry how I will get one from there. Any experiences with this? Will US embassy give you a letter saying they need the report for the purpose of immigration? Any ideas?

*I was not asked Affidavit of support and I didn't see anyone asked.
**I am not newly married. It is long time marriage.
***Yes I showed some pics.
****I am not a student. I think it is common question for all applicants. It might be just to check financial status of an applicant.
*****I put my close friend as a host.

Hi God-is-Love, I already bought our one way ticket to JFK, New York, for our July trip. I did all possible search to find the Airline with the cheapest price and Emirates is found the best. I paid 54k Birr for my family of five (four adult and one child of age <12). I Booked on line and paid the next day. Their office is located in Bole Area, Denbel City Center (back side gate - second/third floor). Ones you decided on the date, the earlier you buy is better. Cheers!!

Is there any difference in price between online reservation and booking at their office?
I heard one can save $60 if online reservation is made. Is that true?
