Hi all. I just thought I'd give people an update about me and my husband's visa process. As you can see from the info below the visa was approved in late March but unfortunately the Embassy "didn't have" his mailing address (although I included a section in my package for his postal address in addition to his address).

Instead of mailing packet 4 to him in Addis, the embassy said they'd mail it to me in the US. To make a long story short, they scheduled a meeting with him on May 2nd pick up his instructions. He met with the Embassystaff on Tuesday and was pretty pleased with everything.

As for the affadavit of support, the Ethiopian embassy requests either the I-864 or the I-134. If anyone has any recent experience with the Ethiopian Embassy please contact me.

Otherwise, I just thought I'd pass along this information and to update everyone on my current experience moving forward with the K-3 visa. In one day, my husband has gotten his medical test and says that he will be able to get his police report by the end of the week.

Even with the delay, I'm excited at how things are moving forward.

Best.
