hello mates, this is my interview experience

Interview - April, 10 at 2:30 am
reached to the embassy at 2 am and not surprised to see 2 long lines one being at the gate and another one on the other side of the road. the majority of the applicants were DV selectees. After a long wait on the queue my turn came and i was given a checklist to put the needed documents in. the documents are:
->1nl&2nl
-> passport(with copy)
->medical
->police clearance
->authenticated highschool transcripts+10th&12th national exam certificates(copy of the front page and the back)
->birth certificate +copy(mine is authenticated)
->work experience
i was given back the 2nl from all these documents. i didn't give my degree since it's not required on the checklist. i paid the fee, 7590 br, in the morning(it can also be done in the afternoon). I was to return at 12:30am for the interview. I got back to the embassy at 12am. passed security screening and got seated waiting for my name to be called. it took an hour before i was called at window 5 to give the receipt. there i saw a yellow paper on top of my documents. no less than 35 dv applicants were before me waiting so i had the chance to listen to most of their interviews. all were approved unless for one couple who were put on AP for some reason i don't know and another family of 5 who were denied because the husband didn't include one of his children on the edv form. he started crying and saying things that wouldn't resolve his situation so the security came and took him out with his family. it was touching but rules are rules and he wouldn't have paid that much for an obvious denial if he was lucky to be on this forum or brit simon's.
after 1hour+ waiting finally i was called to window 10, this was the CO i was wishing to make my interview with because he got a lot of sense of humor and makes you feel relaxed. he speaks Amharic quite well and don't let you speak in English even if you want to.
CO: (in Amharic ) "do you swear everything you are going to say is true?"
meAmharic )"i do"

CO: (English )"where does your sponsor live?"

CO
me:___
CO
me: thank you so very much!!
he said a lot of funny things during this very short interview . he didn't try to trick me into anything. only 4 questions and thats all!!!
->april 11: ceac changed to administrative processing
-> apr. 12- issued
so if you are qualified and have the right documents to demonstrate that, you will make it without a doubt. thanks everyone!!!
and BE HONEST too!!!!

i had my temporary degree with me on the interview, i was not asked for it by the lady who gave me the checklist, and nor did the CO interviwed me request that!!
if you have the temporary degree, don't do anything else just go with it, it's more than enough!!
on the checklist from the embassy it says "only education documents should be authenticated" but regardless i think it's a plus if you authenticate your birth certificate just for 150br..
if you have your birth certificate from "woreda" then you go to your "kifleketema" and pay 10 or 15 br to get their seal on it then finally to MOFA(it's around the road that connects kazanchia to urael, you pay 150br and you are done!!
Thanks for the response
Did u authenticate the temporary?
Thanks men you've been a great help. Hope all the best for ur life abroad.

congratulations,
so, you were listening almost to everyone's interview before you. was there any interview questions which are different from yours?
just in case; to learn even from your second hand information

what a big difference.
may be there two are doing more on the immigrants' case but St Yared's primary task is just like other hospitals.
so, other mates should try their convenience.

For all Christians out there Happy Eastern!!
To you too.
Actually the university authenticate temporary degree but u have to pay ur cost sharing first then take z letter which state u pay all z money and z recipient to z university registrar. By the way u can authenticate either ur temporary degree or u take ur original degree through delegation if u attended regional universities but ur living in Addis Ababa. i take ma original degree from Bahir Dar university by delegate ma friend who live in Bahir Dar.
we go with the temporary degree in order not to pay the cost sharing and I know some universities, like gondar, for example, don't want to authenticate your documents unless you pay the cost sharing fee!!

what does it mean authenticate documents? and where should i have authenticate my tempo degree?
authenticate means verified,signed and stamped to make sure the document is genuine.
U can authenticate at the university where u went and then at the ministry of foreign affairs .but as kxmeggaa said most universities ask cost sharing payment to authenticate.
