All Ethiopian 2015 DV Winners Meet Here!

I did this so long ago I'm not sure I can be of much help. Is he absolutely sure he has her A number right, same as on her envelope?
Whether she is on your account or separately it will still need her own A number.
 
@Fikir12,

I also I'm not really able to provide any guidance on this. The people who recently went through the process are better equipped to guide you and I hope one of them respond pretty soon.

Guys I have a problem on paying the Green card fee. My friend tried to pay for me and my wife after I created an account on USCIS and gave them the password and login information. He accessed my profile and start the payment. He could be able to pay my fee and he is telling me that when he tried to pay my wife's fee it says that the A-number or DOS is not correct. I thought that at the beginning he should add my wife as a beneficiary and pay the two fees together. Now I don't know what we should do. He (my friend) called the USCIS office and they told him he should be able to pay for her separately. However, he couldn't be able to pay it, still it says wrong A-numebr/DOS. Even we tried to create an account for her alone, the same problem. So what could I do to pay it. Could you please form member suggest some ideas/someone who had the same problem? Especially @Britsimon, @SusieQQQ, @Sm1smom, @MB1xxx, @rolex123 and @ZGREAT. I hope you will be able to give me some ideas as usual. Thank you!!!

Could this help?

http://www.uscis.gov/uscis-elis/immigrant-fee-payment-tips-finding-your-number-and-dos-case-id
 
One thing I do remember is sometimes the A number appears to be a digit too short, in that case putting a 0 in front of the number fixes it. Not sure if that is maybe the issue.
 
what i did is that i created an account and then activated it using my email.Then i entered my full name as it appears on the visa, entered DOS no(it is exactly same as the dv case no) , also entered A number as it appears on the visa just below the IV no. NB- when u enter the A no. add "A" at the beggining then add many zeros sothat the total no. of digit become 9. e.g if ur A no. written on the visa is 4536785, write A004536785 in the USCIS account sothat the no. of digit become 9. After u fill these info correctly it will take u to the page that show u the account summary then when u click next, online paying page appears and it is at this page that ur host enters credit card info. to pay the fee,, ..Feel free to ask if there is any ambiguity
 
@Fikir12, what I did was similar to what @abi328 tells above. Actually your friend has already gone through these steps while paying yours. All he needs is to remember and repeat. Watching out digits in the A number is important. Paying separately should not be a problem. Asking the USCIS again and again about what to do telling them all the details might help.
 
I don't understand the taxation system in usa even after browsing . can some one explain like for e.g if I earn 4000$ per month how much of it will be paid back as a tax

It depends where you live. There are federal taxes and sometimes there is state tax. There are also other deductions like social security.

@ZGREAT this is Excellent!! I'm happy you are at a decent start. By the way could you say something more about the licensing process in NJ. Did you use a license from Ethiopia to help you shorten the steps? I'm also impressed by the price of your goody Elantra 2000☺

Tnx bro ! Ethiopian licence must be an amahric English version or you need to have an international licence , i had 6 months experiance with the ethiopian licence and it was never enough to exempt me from the road test

The written test was a pieace of cake and i think every one must have that , the road test is differnt but give it a good one month to settle

Btw the driver licence is an awesome ID , my GC has taken a vacation out until i got back to ethiopia ,


Cheers
 
it is a nice start. i once read on kenya dv forum that one need to have car insurance Before taking the road test. what is ur say on this?

The car you are using for the road test needs to be insured (including for when you are driving it). I presume that is what they meant. We had to show our insurance papers before we could take the test (CA).
