I'm in your boat too, Documents sent on October but still waiting KCC response this week! it seems that KCC rely more on automatic replies as Simon had written before in his article titled (Communicating with KCC).
but I have question for forum followers: Has anyone received this reply (Your documents complete and processed) within 3-6 weeks as KCC stated? or does it take longer?

After 6 weeks I've sent email to KCC asking is all okay with my documents.
They told me to give them some time for processing my documents, as I'm EU35XXX and they are processing documents based on case numbers.
Once they checked everything they will let me know if all is okay and if something is missing...

@Leon_47 did you do the interview in naples? thanksHi all!
Today I had my interview and it went well! Visa approved!!! I’m so excited!
First of all I need to say thank you to this forum, Sm1smom, SusieQQQ and the great BritSimon for all the knowledge they share with us.
Going trough this process opened a new world for me, I got to understand new things and also how it works especially in Italy.
Of the 25 people today I was the only green card by lottery, there was a girl with the green card trough work and the rest was K1 fiancée visa or parents moving to USA with their grown up kids. So very few lottery based green card I would say.
Medical check was flawless, no additional vaccines required as I did them all before lol
Interview at the consulate was split in 3 stages:
1 - lady in the waiting area sitting behind a small desks calls me first and ask me for some documents + photocopies and she reorganize them.
2- lady at the counter asks when was the first time I applied for the DV lottery and asks me about my marriage, I tell her that I’m separated since 2015 and I show her the official courthouse document signed by the judge and the clerk of the courthouse.
She said “it’s a problem because I should have listed my (ex) wife for the appointment today instead of just me”, I tell her that there’s no way to hear back from her because we’ve been separated for years and we are living in different countries and why should I do that since I’m separated?
All the forms I filled in filled them as separated and always listed my ex spouse as requested.
She didn’t seem to know what to do and she just walking back and forth asking stuff to her coworkers.
Afterward she handles me the receipt to pay and then I wait.
3- CO calls me, asks me 5 questions, one of them is “will your spouse come with you to USA?” And I reply: “no, I’m legally separated” and she approve my visa. I think maybe she just wanted to check my answers and compare them with what she was watching on her pc?
Anyway, she said “your visa is approved”!
I will receive a tracking number for the mail delivery of my passport + yellow sealed envelope. And only after I’ll receive it I’ll celebrate, she said it’ll take 10 days more or less
ok...thank a lot
Yes I did it in Naples.
So, updates:
I received the yellow envelope today, and my I551 stamp has an expiration date of 1 month!!!! I guess they made a mistake writing expire date JAN2020 instead of JUN2020... what a pain in the a**....
What should I do now? I've sent an email to the Naples consulate but I doubt I'll get an answer on time.
I can't believe this...

Mistakes happen, you have done the right thing in contacting them to have it resolved - you could try calling.
Getting upset over it won't make it better and will only serve to make you more stressed. Deep breath, it will work out

@Leon_47 thanks, if my number is current (EU29xxx), I will also do my interview. Do you have any advice for medical visits and an interview day? you will see that they will solve the error, thanks
Don't expect the docs to be reviewed, your CN is higher than mine(~21k). But if you call them they can tell if they received them.
I got advised to call again in late January.
The whole "check after 6 weeks" is everything but helpful.

@ASD123456 thanks, I wrote, just to see if they received them.
You should have the vaccines they request here:
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/vaccinations.html
it will save you time and money because if you miss a vaccine you will do it on the spot paying more than normal.
Remember the flu shot if you think you will be interviewed in this season (I don't remember the exact dates for this).
As for the interview, bring paystubs, proof of funds, high school diploma, marital status documents (if you are married or separated), and also bring the exact amount of dollars in cash to pay the fee just in case, when I went there I couldn't pay with my credit card so I had to withdraw cash.
Be patient, and have all the docs ready and in general be prepared to answer politely to every question, also dress formal (tie not needed) as if it was a job interview.

A note of caution to ensure people don’t start rushing around to complete the listed vaccines prior to their medical appointments in the name of saving money: some of those listed vaccines may not be required as they may not be medically appropriate based on an individual’s age and medical history or condition.
Sorry Mom, I explained myself wrongly.
Prior the vaccines you should get a medical check with you doctor (this is necessary as you can’t just buy the vaccines from the counter).
Even better there should be a doctor who is specialized in travelers health and stuff, so he/she will know exactly which vaccine you need. At least this is what I did.
The doctor or even better the family doctor will surely have your medical history and he/she I’ll fo from there

A normal GP or even one who deals in travel health will not know the requirements and as Mom pointed out many of them are not required, the ONLY doctor who can tell you what is and what is not required is the one who conducts your medical

Most doctors will be clueless as to the specific requirements of the US panel doctors.
the requirements for vaccines are officially listed. any doctor after a blood test can tell you what's required unless you have a proof that you are vaccinated and don't need to do it again.

Worst case scenerio you can just do an activation trip, just fly there, have your visa stamped, then go back to arrange your stuff for the relocation...
