In general, any applicant for an immigrant visa must be the beneficiary of an approved petition. Certain applicants such as priority workers, investors, certain special immigrants, and diversity immigrants can petition on their own behalf. All other intending immigrants must have a relative or potential employer petition for them in the United States.

Additionally, the Diversity Visa Program provides a certain number of permanent resident visas annually. These visas are drawn from countries with low rates of immigration to the U.S. For more information, please click on the "Diversity Visa Program" link to the right.

Immigrant visas are processed on an appointment basis.  At the time of the interview, the applicant should be present in front of a consular officer.  A child can be accompanied by a legal representative or a legal guardian, but no other assistants are permitted in the Embassy at the time of interview.   After the visa is approved, the applicant will be given instruction to collect the visa the next day.

Post also processes third-country nationals if they have legal status in Ethiopia.

I-130 Petitions

The Consular Section will accept I-130 petitions from American Citizens who have resided in Ethiopia for at least six months and who intend to continue their residence in Ethiopia. Please visit the American Citizen Service window for more details.

About Our Services

DNA Identifiers provides a very convenient and private DNA Testing service - we will travel to you in order to collect your DNA sample. (Therefore, you will not have to travel to a clinic, or draw site, and pay collection fees.) We will meet with you at a safe and convenient location, most likely your residence or lawyer’s office.

Upon the arrival of one of our Certified DNA Collectors, you will need to provide full payment, valid photo identification and a copy of the immigration paperwork from the Embassy, including the case number and the contact information for the “beneficiary” in the foreign county. During the testing/collection appointment, the collector will take a photograph of your face, fill out the laboratory’s legal paperwork and collect a DNA sample using a painless cotton swab (buccal).

Service Fees

The DNA Testing Fee varies according to type of test, number of people being tested and testing location. We offer competitive rates and fair prices. Please call a DNA Identifiers representative for more info and a service quote.

Beyond the DNA Testing Fees, you, the client, will also need to pay World Wide Express International Shipping fees for approximately three shipments.

1. The DNA Sample Collection Kit to be shipped to the collection location (Embassy appointed/approved Doctor/Clinic)

2. The completed DNA Sample Collection Kit to be shipped back to the laboratory in the US

3. The official, LEGAL, notarized documents to be shipped directly from the lab back to the Embassy in the county of origin for processing.

DNA Identifiers will accept Cash, Money Order, Visa or Master Card.
