I had taken a police clearance certificate this July.How long is it valid for?

It is valid for one year, in Kenya.
Though from most readings, the US Embassy are interested a less than 6 month Certificate
Since it doesn't take more than a month to get one, it is safe to get one after your 2NL or immediately your number goes current

No, the standard expiry for police certificates from a US perspective is one year, regardless what the local expiry is.
Guys, I appreciate those of you who are using this forum to help each other, but you really need to read the official instructions too. If you do that you will clearly see that one year is what they use.

As a reminder, your selection letter links to the official pages. Read all of them and all the relevant links in them.
Starting page: https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...entry/diversity-visa-if-you-are-selected.html

Civil documents page: https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...ersity-visa-prepare-supporting-documents.html
Includes the following that clearly shows one year is the expiry unless you fall into the situation where you can use an older one:

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.

Definitely. I don't want us to rush. Most of the things can only be done after 2NL. In the meantime, just make sure marriage certificate is certified (sheria house charging Kshs1100 now if I am not wrong), your birth certificate alongside those of the children are in order, vaccination records for all too.

Step by step so we don't lose out on important information. We have each others back.

To be safe(in reference to your case number and when it might go current), just re do after you get the 2NL. From previous selectees, process takes like 3 days.

He was working abroad. That's where he chose his interview. In his year (I think 2015) he made many realize that Kenyans that were doing their interviews abroad were the ones being asked for the I-130. However, 2018 or 2019, I have seen 2 interview experiences where applicants were asked for that form while interviewing in Kenya.
