What happens with us that submitted the documents when they requested it back in November, but have a high CN and won't be schedule for some time? Some of the documents expire after 6 months, if KCC starts processing them after that expiration date, is that going to be a problem? Any insight on this?

what expires after 6 months?
Police Certificate for example. It's usually valid for only 6 months. In my case, I have submitted documents in November. Does it mean that if my documents are not verified by KCC by May, it will not be valid any more for the purpose of their document verification?

From the website about civil documents - they have a blanket policy regardless of individual country expiries:
Important: Police certificates expire after one year, unless the certificate was issued from your country of previous residence and you have not returned there since the police certificate was issued. If at the time of your interview the following three items are all true, you must bring a new police certificate to your visa interview:
- You are more than 16 years old;
- The police certificate was obtained more than one year ago; and
- You still live in the country that issued the certificate.
Some people prefer to get a new one for their interview if the local expiry date has passed, and it usually isn’t a hassle to do so if that makes you feel more comfortable, but technically it is only a year that you need to worry about.

Hi @SusieQQQ , in many European countries, many documents expire after 6 months. I sent mine in October, and since I will be current in May / June (EU29xxx), I will do them again. thanks

Are you doing AOS or CP?Wow, I was convinced this was 6 months. Thanks, this has put my mind on ease
Just to check this up - I currently reside in USA on F1 visa. No police certificate for USA is needed, right? I have sent KCC only police certificate from my home country.
Decided to do CP because of high number.

As Susie pointed out, it doesn't matter that the issuing country says it is valid for 6 months, the process adopted by KCC is that they will be valid for DV processing for 12 months
That said, if you feel more comfortable getting a more recent one for the time of your interview then go ahead and do so. I actually got a 2nd one as mine would have been about 11 months old by the time I went to my interview, both were handed in and I can't be 100% certain but I don't think he even looked at the updated one

You can either make the needed adjustment and stop posting on behalf of others with the use of personal pronouns which makes the situation you’re trying to describe confusing for those who are here ready to provide the needed guidance, or get upset on the basis of being corrected.
Yes I’m aware your friends may not have direct internet access, and you are trying to help. You should be clarifying that information when you post on their behalf, that’s all you’re being told.
Yes thank you for the correction I will try to correct it. None of us are here with bad intention and we are all here to help each.
Next time I will clarify the issue that I am posting to the preferred noun whom it concern.

I would say if we get the email from KCC saying that the documents have been received I assume they looked at them, the documents become valid at that time
The problem is that in 2020 DVLOTTERY initial entry the passport information is not needed so when he submitted he wrote date of birth that after converting the gregorian calendar.
So now he is fine and corrected every thing.

But you said he had an original passport that he had to change... you did not need a passport to apply like now, but if you had one then the information on the entry was supposed to match it. So again, name change, dates etc is not an excuse, he didn’t follow instructions. Anyway hopefully his change of passports doesn’t cause problems for him. Did he use his old passport before for anything?
here is dv2020 instructions for the same year he entered. Note page 3 “Name – last/family name, first name, middle name – exactly as it appears on your passport” https://travel.state.gov/content/da...Translations/DV-2020-Instructions-English.pdf

On what do you base this statement? Please explain your methodology. Because if your methodology is the equivalent of reading tea leaves, maybe you should be a bit more careful in making bold confident statements about subjects you probably don't understand very well.

I enjoy your videos and your insight greatly, as it helped me and many other dv applicants. However, your predictions were also incorrect on many occasions. So I don't exactly know why you are bashing me for contributing my opinion to this community. We all have the right to do so. Please correct me if In wrong
Yes he didn't follow the instructions very serious, good for him he corrected the right time.
When he apply he didn't have passport so he make one after selection, so when he recieved the passport he saw there is some error in the new passport so he had to change the passport and delay his submission of the DS260 form and he did that.
No he didn't use his old passport rather the new one and submitted his DS260 form.
So now he submitted his DS260 form with some delay so he ask me if he can send the required documents since he received email asking him to send the supporting document or wait until KCC process his DS260 form.
I hope I mention clearly the issue.
That is why I ask the forum to help me this issue.
