All Ethiopian 2015 DV Winners Meet Here!

@rolex123 Thank u so much for the phone # and @Fikir12 yeah the begining seems nice and will definitely share my experience even if there is nothing new about the interview that we did not heard before but one thing I noticed is that the CO already decided to grant a visa after we drop our document in the morning so if that's, the case the interview only took less than 5min with the,same easy questions like which university u attended, field u studied, who paid ur visa fee ,relationship with ur host, do u have a bf/gf and if ur,answer is yes/no the Co will ask the that if u intend to get married before u go to the states then followed by the yellow slip and a congratulations. so far this was my interview experience the Co 's are more polite than the other workers #just saying btw I feel really sad to observed those who get denied because they did not fit with education or work experience or, I also were having a talk with one guy who get denied Cuz he fill his kid on the 2nd form which was sad anyways @Fikir12 I don't think anybody who was in this forum will get denied since we shared experience and the,documents we have to take so Don't worry and good luck btw when is ur interview?

@ZGREAT tnx but the guy who works at DHL office( Leghar branch) told to my wife that she needs to register online and pay the fee( 3000 little more) within 24 hours at Abyssinia Bank. From this thread I don't see such thing. If I am wrong correct me. Thank you.
I did about DHL courier to my wife at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-et/iv because she got the following email.
" Dear Sir/Madam,
This is regarding your immigrant visa application for diversity visa (DV). Appointment letters have already been sent to applicants scheduled to be interviewed in July 2015. These applicants are required to complete their appointment registration at usvisa-info.com PRIOR to their scheduled appointment dates.

Starting on April 01, 2015, the US Embassy in Ethiopia has implemented new processes for all immigrant visa applicants, including DV applicants. These changes will require applicants to schedule their appointments at usvisa-info.com PRIOR TO THEIR APPOINTMENT DATES. Please note that applicants without appointments registered at usvisa-info.com will NOT be granted access into the Embassy.

I don't get it ; what kind of 3000,birr are we talking about and is it even dv related ? what I know is that u register ur courier prior to interview at usvisa-info.com and pay 50 birr to DHL when u pick up ur visa from their office
 
@abi328 I think the guy told to my wife wrong info. But as far as I know the only payment regarding DV is $320 dollar or equivalent Ethio birr and $165 to USCIS after visa granted. Am I correct?

@great2meetu, yes these are the only payment we made. There is no additional cents to pay anywhere (all DHL cost is included in the visa payment $320). I don't also know the 50birr @abi328 was referring. Payment at Abssinya Bank is an old story that was practised some years back for the visa payment. The guy who informed your wife knows a very outdated information.
