I came with my fiancee to the embassy to help her out with filling the paperwork and to comfort her for the interview. We had our interview on August 18.
We arrived at the American embassy in Addis Ababa around 8:00am, the seating location was filled with people, we went to sit at the back. You organize your documents according to two groups: Documentation and Evidence of Relationship. As soon as you enter the embassy they give you a folder and you have to put your passport, passport size photos, birth certificate, non-marriage status, police certificate, ... etc. on there and when her number was called we head to the desk to submit the documents, then they took her electronic fingerprint (ashara), and told us to sit down till they call our name. We waited half an hour then we paid the $350 fee at the window, they gave us receipt and we were told to sit down again. Now we had to wait another 3 to 4 hours for her interview. I saw some people accepted, some rejecte... read complete review

I have reached there at 7:22 am thinking am early one. But inside there were people seating and waiting. The earlier you come the earlier you will be interviewed since they will give you a ticket number and make you wait. At first I was asked to give my passport and interview paper. She asked me for “ashara”, that is finger print. I gave her, by the way it took me only two days to get the finger print( you need 2 photos and 10 birr fee). Medical I had at Cathedral Clinc at piassa. So I started waiting for my interview and at 11am it was my turn. I never been to the embassy I thought I would be interviewed in a room. But I approached the booth behind there is the interviewer and translator. I was asked to raise my right hand and swear. I did. While the translator started speaking I said in English “I do” So I done my interview with English. If it is possible it is better that way. I have not been asked that much. It took me 3 or 5 minutes at max. Considering the day ... read complete review

Well, my wife had her interview on June 29th 2010, wow what a let down. When I called her she was bawling her eyes out. I really felt bad for her, even though we had at that point known each other for over 2 years and had been married for close to 6 months, there were a lot of things I hadnt shared with her, and in the interview they really hit her with the difficult questions. The red flag on our case was that I being in the military was stationed in a tax free zone for a part of 2009 so on my W-2 it appeared that I made a lot less than I actually did, so they were like how did he he go to ethiopia and get married when he only made xx amount of dollars. Then they were off to the races asking her all kind of really intimidating questions some of which she should have known and some which she couldnt have. In addition I have a job that I cant talk about much so she didnt know much about that either. I can understand that it looked fishy, and in the COs defense he did say sorry, I ... read complete review
