Sorry i couldn't write you a private message there is something wrong with my internet. Anyhow to answer your question about the Ethiopian certificate.
you don't have to go there or send your fingerprints. I was confused at first too.
The answer is in the ustravelstate.gov, reciprocity column(just google travel state.gov+reciprocity then choose Ethiopia, you'll everything you need to know)
This is what is says
"Police and Prison Records
Available only to those resident in Ethiopia. Certificates of good conduct from the police (Interpol) are available only to people 18 years or older who apply in person in Ethiopia. Three photos, a valid travel document, and a letter requesting the investigation are required for certificate issuance. Persons released from prison are normally given an official release record. "
the day of my interview i printed this page, highlighted this part and took it with me. I then showed it to the officer who double checked himself on the website then said that everything was ok. He took the paper i printed and put it with the rest of the documents required.
So there you go,relax everything is going to be ok. Good luck!!!
