My interview
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Interview date: May 02, 2017
Appointment time was 7:00 AM
we (me, my wife and 2 our child) arrive the embassy at 5:45 and there was a long queue outside of the embassy. After waiting for about an hour a lady came and heads us to the gate of the embassy and gave us a folder to arrange our required document in order. Then she gave us a paper to agree & sign that the $ 4* 330 per each we pay will not be refund even if we are refused. She then told us to bring and come back at 12:00(6:00 local time).
We arrive at the embassy again at the required time and we had checked for security by the embassy workers & headed inside to the waiting area. After about half an hour we were called in window 6, instructed to give finger print, choose language of interview and ordered to pay the $1320 in total. After 1hrs our names again were called in window 9 for final interview. The CO and interpreter greeted us and ordered to raise our hands to swear & we did. The questions were so simple like:
1. What is the level of education you have completed?
Ans. Xxxxxxxxxxxx
2. When was your marriage?
Ans. Xxxxxxxxx(Month,year)

3. Where state does sponsor lives?
Ans. Xxxxxxxx city? Ans. Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
4. The CO congratulates and told us to collect the visas after 7 days and gave us a yellow paper containing our Alien registration numbers. OMG! happinessssssssssssss comes then.
I would like to thank you BritSimon next to God for your valuable advice and comments. Because of your help we and others are succeeded

You don't get selected as a couple, only one person gets selected which means your wife's name isn't supposed to be on the 1NL - you are the one that got selected hence only your name on the 1 NL. Your wife is your beneficiary so she shows up on the DS260.

And yes the CO has access to your eDV registration information itself.

you don't need to mention your primary school. are got the 2nl? if you haven't you can add your high school name,
if you already have got the 2nl prepare the grade 10 and 12 national exam certificate and 9-12 transcript.
 
I won the 2018 dv lottery but I have MAJOR problem because on my academic certificate that is (High school Transcript and University Transcript have different birth year than my edv entry, Birth certificate, ID and Passport. I did go to every institution and organization concerned but the response I got is negative nobody really knows how this situation can be resolved. I have four year professional experience what should I do any advice is appreciated.
