Another lesson: everyone does not automatically get a visa with a six month expiry date
. It is possible for Selina to have less than 6 months, this can only be confirmed when the actual visa is seen.

Seems difficult to predict but wait a minute, we did our medical early November but we are still in Addis and our visa expires in August, on top of this, it is my first time to hear a DV visa offered for less than six months in this forum. Probability gere's case is because we are towards the end of DV2015 term. Any ways, just for curiosity, is there any one else in the forum who got visa of less than six months?

Perhaps you haven't read much? Many people have reported less than six months this fiscal year.

Back in Nov when you did your interview, all cleared medicals were valid for 1 year, which made it possible for visa validity to be predicted/pegged at 6 months. However, starting from Mar 2015, all cleared medicals had a 6 month validity which means issued visas are no longer guaranteed to be valid for 6 months.
@gere's case is not an exception and it's not because the FY is coming to an end. DV2015 selectees can always enter the U.S. with their valid visas even if the FY is over. Plus there are reports of less than 6 months on other Threads.

My wife has granted a visa! I thank God and this awesome forum. It would not be easy to prepare and make very short interview if we did not get this forum. I can honestly say the forum helps us a lot. God bless you all.

I think so , when is your flight ?

My flight is in less than three weeks.
Among the many places to whom I applied for job online, I had a successful job interview by Skype the day before. I am now told that I will have a campus visit the next day of my arrival. This one seems more promising than the other offers I had before.
My advise for everyone in the forum is ones you get your visa, search for jobs online and apply to multiple places in parallel, you loose nothing. Don't hesitate to tell them you are US permanent resident in your applications.
Another advise from my experience is about housing. If you remember, Credit Score requirement to rent a house was a big challenge that worried me. Now, I solved it by renting a house from an Ethiopian based on trust as he understands the situation. I have already paid one month advance starting from 15 July and the key is with my friend.

No advise is better than bad advise. And this is a bad advise. You are not a US permanent resident until your are admitted at POE. Merely getting a visa is not enough. Stating that you are a US PR in job applications, when you are not, is blatant lying.
