All Ethiopian 2015 DV Winners Meet Here!

Thank you @rolex123

I wish someone can tell us the difference in privilege when we use the one year Permanent Residence permit on our passport and this separate Green Card.

There is no difference as regards anything official (like entry at an airport)
Some people in the private sector do not fully understand it though, whereas everyone recognises the plastic green card.
Remember that the important thing is that you are an LPR irrespective of what paper is in your hand - the only difference is how you prove it to someone else.
 
Thank you @rolex123 for the details. Ha ha .. I'm surprised:) by your 8 luggage of food. That should be why the prices of Berebere and Shiro have increased here at the Shola Market :)

Ok @SusieQQ I understand. Thank you. Yes face values matter sometimes.

optimized means an officer at the USCIS have take a look at your application for the first time ,
mine was updated two times while it was on "OPTIMIZED" once on Apr 25 ( first update ) and the last update was on MAY 21( exactly one month from entry ) still optimized but when i check it on the visa status check using the recipt number at https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do my card is being produced ,
NOTE : the visa status check web will not recognize your recipt number until the card begin being produced

dear@habtu , if you took the courses listed above , you have to go to your college and ask them an updated transcript including the courses , the embassy will cross check the transcript you take with the one at the college , they have trained professional who will do so ,


when is your interview ? your case number ?

@habtu This might help :
Proof of graduation from a TVET 10+3 program. New TVET certificates documenting levels of achievement are not accepted because they do not meet the minimum requirement of 12 years of basic education unless you took 3 common courses (Mathematics, Civics and English) on all 3 years of your 10+3 education. Any educational document presented may be subject to independent verification by U.S. Embassy staff."

Dear Habtu, welcome to the forum. This forum has a lot of helpful people on DV related matters as long as you provide all your relevant information (You don't need to tell us your personal information like your name which you already did).

Regarding your 10+4 education, the most important is to have those common courses on your transcript. Please follow the advises by @rolex123 and @ZGREAT above.

My experience with the 10+ transcript is that I know a person who (one of the previous years) qualified for DV based on a 10+3 education. They put him on AP and they sent their worker to the school to verify about correctness of the document.
Good Luck

Hi @rolex123, I just checked our USCIS ELIS account, it only has full name, date of birth and country of birth fields filled and all the rest including physical and mailing addresses have only a dot in the field. Lets assume this is their style and is normal (could be for security reason).

If you doubt about the fast change made on your mailing address by the CO at the PoE, I think you can call USCIS and check.
