Good morning all,

First I would like to say thanks for all the helpful information, and support it's wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

I do have a question, I am trying to figure out what the fee is to get the physical done in Addis Ababa. I've been looking online and I am unable to get the price of the examination. If anyone knows the answer to this question could you please let me know, or let me know where I can get the answer from. Thank you bunch!!!

Hello Jennifer, I see your beneficiary resides in Ethiopia, so does mine. Sorry I do not have the answer to your question but I am curious to know what happens as your case progresses. Not seen any other petition destined for Ethiopia on this forum except yours. Hope you can fill me in. Based on your reported timeline, It seems as though your NOA2 should be sent around today. I received my NOA1 on July 12 (about a week ago) and just curious about your process and experience going forward especially the consular process and demeanor of the officials at the embassy in Addis. Thanks.

My husband and I just went thru this process successfully. check out my timeline. There have been several people doing a K-1 from Ethiopia recently ( one girl was in the embassy interview on the same day as my husband!)

I'm going to look thru our stuff, to see if I can find the price of the medical exam. But I do remember he when to a place in Yeka sub city to get it done.

Hi, how are you? I am still waiting to hear back with the second NOA but I am sure I will be getting a RFE due to me not sending in all the pages of my passport. But I haven't heard anything and not activity on our case as of 5.9.16
