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?

Today was one of the Best and the worst day. Since last night my fiancé and I was so nervous. I keep calling her almost every hour to tell her, it will be OK, just be yourself.

Anyway, this is exactly what happened:

-She went to the Embassy around 6:00AM, US embassy in Ethiopia usually have long lines by 7:00AM
-She was the first one in the line.
Around 7:30 they told her to return all her medical, police certificate, birth certificate, and the DS230. Then they told her to wait in the lobby.
(about six month ago all the employees in the US embassy were mean, rude, and aggressive, but according to the security guard she spoke with, he said, “They got all brand new crew and you don’t have to worry about a thing.”)
-Well that kind of made her feel better
-After 30min, she said they called her name and she got Window 2(all the officers are women)
-The officer had a translator, (which was Ethiopian)
-The ... read complete review

We had a great experience through the Embassy in Addis Ababa. Within a week of NVC sending our case to the Embassy the Embassy forwarded to my fiancee and he had it in his hands within 7 days. He received is packet 3 (in Ethiopia there is no packet 4) which also included his interview date. But we already knew his date, when I called the Embassy 3 days prior the lady who took my call volunteered his interview date without me asking.

Generally, I haven't heard of any VJ people have problems through this embassy. However, I do want to share that on the day of my fiancee's interview 7 people were interviewed and he was the only person to get approved that day. I don't know why the others were not approved. But we followed the VJ guidelines and had no problems. One thing, Ethiopia really wants to see call logs, not used phone cards. We had a ton but the CO didn't want to look at them because they didn't prove who I had actually called. She was however very intereste... read complete review
