Embassy Review : |
Our cases are approved ( pending medical results). Both CR1 for Spouse and IR5 for Mother got approved. They got at the gate around 8 Am for 9 Am interview appointment. 30 people waiting to get in at the gate.Interview letter and Passport were the only thing they needed at the gate.After they went in there were more than 100 people inside waiting for their turn. Non-immigrant(Student and Visit) visas were Interviewed before us. IR5(Mom) did the interview first since elderly got prority.
There is pre-screening window where they requested Appt Letter, Passport, Birth Certificate,Marriage Certificate,Police Certificate and 2 Photo before they got in to Interview Window. These are the questions :-
1. How and when did you meet
2. How many times has he visited you
3. How long has he stayed
4. What does he do
5. When and how did he go to US
6.He went to US when he was at school?
7. Which state and City he live?
And she asked me r a picture
8. Where was your wedding
We brought a lot of pictures but we selected few around 25 that has a lot of people in it at the wedding and other places. She was satisfied after looking 4 pictures. |

I hope my approval will not make some people to feel unlucky or sad because I know 95% of you are should have been ahead of me.
Wow, congrats! I was thinking you had made a mistake! You're blessed!
I actually thought USCIS playing April fools on me but then NVC confirmed it.
Congratulations...does your receipt number starts with IOE ?
Congratulations! This makes me feel hopeful :)
Hey! Have you gotten any correspondence about an interview yet? I've seen some movement from other embassies and I'm wondering if Ethiopia will begin interviews soon as well too :)
No I haven't heard anything. There is no news of reopening soon.
@MoHanu did get an interview date yet?
wow! congrats! i'm happy for you. you're lucky. i am sure you will not come to this site once you got your visa now. but incase you do, did you expedite your case from NVC to be sent to ethiopian embassy? and can i ask why you transferred your case from Nebraska to vermont? thank you !
@Ethio2018 no I did not expedited it all just. Just got lucky I guess to go that fast. It was at the start of COVID may be that was the reason.
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
