Ooh denis police certificate should have been one of the documents to have acquired since you are staying in uganda...I stay in nairobi but I got mine a couple of months ago though it was an Express process...little expensive though but if u are you to go for a normal process then it might take a month or two
@Isaacojok calvin and @Denis.Muwuma you're very welcome here.
I certified them in case. For the interview, they insist on originals and copies..
Oooh ... you have to go to Interpol and apply for it. It takes about 2 weeks

For those asking what next
I thought it to be wise if I did for you a small write up for the procedures and
processes that take place from the point of winning the Diversity Visa till
Landing in the (USA)
Step One
Once you check on the results and find that you have qualified immediately the
first letter (1NL) that shows that you have been randomly selected for further
processing… you then fill an online form called DS 260. Make sure you fill the
forms for all the beneficiaries in your list accurately to avoid unlocking which
brings delays. If there is a baby born after you have submitted you can request
Kentucky Consular Center (KCC).
https://ceac.state.gov/iv/
Step Two
After you submit the DS 260 start preparing for the documents needed to go
for the interview with.
** Valid Traveling Passports
**Birth Certificates

where you will fill your case number e.g 2020AF000xxx
