No OLCI for international?
Ua app will not complete olci, says my documents need to be verified.
Since I can't Check in online, does this mean I can't CPU @ 24 hrs for my first (domestic) leg?
It seems ridiculous that this is my fourth trip to the same destination this year and they cant keep track of my pp/visa data.

Inability to checkin has nothing to do with CPU upgrades. Your CPU will still process "as normal" if R space opens up and you're next in line.

Your docs have to be verified at the airport and there's no way around that. Once they are verified they will be stored in your profile so that you won't have to do this again in the future.

More info needed....
OP: post where you are going to.. SOME markets do a manual visa check as required which can prevent OLCI (e.g. China and Taiwan)

How can I be in line for a standby CPU if I can't get Checked in?

Definitely not in my case. I can OLCI outbound from the US to India, but every single time manual check of my PP is required in India to return to the US.

You can check in, but not print BPs until your passport has been verified by a real person. You can give the passport number all you want, it makes no difference. If UA have your passport number on file, it makes no difference. They have to have a human being take a glance at it. But you can check in.

If you're elite you are in line for a CPU regardless of when you check in. For the battlefield (gate) upgrade the last tiebreaker (after status and fare class) is check in time, but it sounds like everyone will be in the same boat as you.

The one agent who understood what I meant by the standby upgrade list swore this would not affect my chances of my (miles) upgrade clearing tomorrow. Of course, that is the same agent who originally swore that there was no such list for my flight in the first place. I know in principle the priority order should be status, fare and time of request, no matter what time I am checked in. But my confidence in anything about this reservation working normally tomorrow has been greatly diminished.

No need for a human to verify. I've been getting my passport scanned by the chicken lately. I haven't been able to get a boarding pass, even though UA has my data on file, since last year. This includes TATL and TPAC travel.
