WE HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE WITH THE AMERICAN CONSULATE IN ETHIOPIA. THE PEOPLE ARE VERY NICE HELPFULL AND DON'T GIVE YOU A HARD TIME SPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE ALL THE PAPER WORK WELL DOCUMENTED. THIS IS THE EXPERIENCE MY FIANCEE HAD. SHE WENT TO THE EMBASSY AT 8:30PM US TIME WHICH IS MORNING TIME IN ETHIOPIA SHE STOOD IN LINE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF. AT 10:00PM THEY TOLD EVERYBODY THAT WAS THERE TO TURN IN THEIR DOCUMENTS SO SHE DID THEN THEY TOLD HER TO SIT IN THE WAITING AREA. AFTER LIKE THREE HOURS LATER THEY CALLED HER TOO THE WINDOW AND......
CO: HELLO, HOW ARE YOU
SO: I AM FINE THANK YOU(IN HER LANGUAGE AND THE TRANSLATOR TRANSLATED IT TO THE CO)
CO: SO WHERE DOES YOUR FIANCE LIVE?
SO: AMERICA, IN A STATE CALLED UTAH AND THE CITY IS OGDEN
CO: WHAT DOES HE DO FOR LIVING?
SO: HE WORKS AS AN EXTRA IN MOVIES, TV SHOWS, COMMERCIALS, AND DOCUMENTARIES.
CO: HAVE YOU SEEN ANY OF HIS FILMS?
SO: NO
CO: THEN HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?
SO: BECAUSE HE TOLD ME.
CO: SMILED AT HER AND SAID OK GO TO THE FIRST WINDOW AND PAY THE VISA FEE AND COME BACK.
SO: OK. THEN SHE WENT THO THE FIRST WINDOW AND PAID THE FEE THEN THEY GAVE HER A RECEIPT AND SHE TOOK THE RECEIPT BACK TO THE CO AND THE CO SAID ALRIGHT COME BACK ON TUESDAY AND PICK UP YOUR PASSPORT AND VISA. AND MY SO SAID OK THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND LEFT. AND ONCE SHE LEFT THE BUILDING SHE CALLED ME AND I ASKED HER WHAT HAPPENED AND SHE WAS SO HAPPY SHE WAS LAUGHING WHEN SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE GOT THE VISA, I WAS SO HAPPY IT FELT LIKE A BIG WEIGHT HAS LIFTED OFF ME. AND WHEN I ASKED HER ABOUT THE CO SHE SAID SHE WAS VERY NICE AND SHE WAS SMILING THE WHOLE TIME WHICH MAD HER ALOT LESS NERVOUS AND SHE ALSO SAID THE CO DIDNT EVEN LOOK AT THE FORMS SHE JUST ASKED TWO QUESTIONS AND THAT WAS IT. AND THE REASON WAS EVERYTHING WAS WELL DOCUMENTED AND WE HAD A LOT OF PROOFS.
