It. Doesn’t. Matter. what the expiry is for domestic purposes.
As far as DoS is concerned all police certificates are valid for two years. What it says is what it means.
(Used to be one year but they changed it during covid due to difficulty of getting new ones in some countries. So far they have not changed the requirement back.)

Since I have applied recently and just obtained a week ago, will it effect my case?

I think they just said that No, it shouldn't affect your case because your Police certificate will always be less than 2 years old when you go for your interview.

How many times in how many different ways can i say the same thing? What is it about a two year expiry date that you can’t or wont believe?
 
Please reply: I am 2023 winner. Does someone know the last Iranian CN/s, who got visa in 2022? and, How much is the chance for CN 14000? Thanks
 
Even after the FY is over, that's not a kind of information that's readily available. There's no public database tying FSC to case numbers.
 
Hello, I have a question about birth certificate. I have the original one, the very original one that was given to my parents when I was born. Problem is: all data (mine and my parents names, date, etc) it is handwritten... do you think it could be an issue?

Check the Visa Reciprocity page (link below) to confirm the document you have was issued by the applicable authorized entity - this will help you determine if your B/C is the right format or not:

If possible I’d try get a new computer printed one or at least check with your embassy if they’ll accept it. While for my country the old certificates technically come from the correct authority I know that the consulate has rejected old handwritten ones and required computer printed ones for visa applicants. This is not stated on the reciprocity page. However I can recall someone else here (different country) having an old handwritten one accepted.
 
Hi, guys.

I've got a question regarding the entrance on an aircrew nonimmigrant visa (C1/D) after obtaining a DV entry visa (the one with six months of validity starting from the date of medicals).

My spouse is the main applicant and he is an aircrew. Can he cross the border with the US on an aircrew visa after the interview (with a DV entry visa page in his passport)?

We got to stay in our country for another 2-3 months after obtaining the DV entry visa, but he's getting scheduled flights to the United States on a monthly basis and we are worried that the CBP officer might want to activate his DV visa or just not let him cross the border on an aircrew visa.
Is there any specific law that the PR status got to be activated at the first entry from the time of the interview or do we have the power to choose whenever we want to activate the status by ourselves?

Thanks.

In most cases, upon an immigrant visa approval, the non-immigrant visa gets cancelled without prejudice. In the case where it is not cancelled, your husband may politely request to be admitted on his C1/D visa at the POE, explaining why he needs to do so (note, he does not have the "power" to choose the status in which to be admitted), the CBP officer will make the ultimate decision on the call.
NOTE: Even if he's admitted as a LPR, he can depart almost immediately and return back home for the 2-3 months which you guys need before making the final move to the US.
 
Attention DV2023 selectees (those who submitted entries in October/November of 2021 and were selected in May 2022) — Scheduling appointments for the 2023 Diversity Visa Program has begun. Interviews start in October, so check your status at dv.state.Gov.
