validate_e911_address returns invalid country code

[cjhelloletsgo]

Describe the bug

The validate_e911_address api returns invalid country codes. If I enter "US" for the country code like in this python script (Address is a random address off zillow)

import boto3

chime_sdk_voice_client = boto3.client("chime-sdk-voice")

chime_response = chime_sdk_voice_client.validate_e911_address(
    AwsAccountId="YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID_GOES_HERE",
    StreetNumber="4360",
    StreetInfo="E 16th Avenue Unit 3",
    City="Denver",
    State="CO",
    Country="US",
    PostalCode="80220",
)

print(f"chime_response: {chime_response}")

I get this response:

{
  "ResponseMetadata": {
    "RequestId": "2043dd77-b139-4990-9ff9-13e89d969be6",
    "HTTPStatusCode": 202,
    "HTTPHeaders": {

      "connection": "keep-alive",
      "x-amzn-requestid": "2043dd77-b139-4990-9ff9-13e89d969be6"
    },
    "RetryAttempts": 0
  },
  "ValidationResult": 1,
  "AddressExternalId": "726bccfb130b49fba7b017aa8fcf96f7",
  "Address": {
    "streetName": "16th",
    "streetSuffix": "Ave",
    "preDirectional": "E",
    "streetNumber": "4360",
    "city": "Denver",
    "state": "CO",
    "postalCode": "80220",
    "country": "USA"
  }
}

ValidationResult is 1, which means the address had to be modified, the Country was returned as "USA" instead of "US" like I passed it in.

But if I try to validate again with USA instead this time it errors out and says that is invalid

The documentation is also unclear how to handle apartment numbers or different units, as you can see it just removes it in the validation result but it seems like it should be returned as postDirectional looking through the api responses.

Thanks for reaching out. The validate_e911_address command makes a call to the ValidateE911Address API. We reached out to the Chime team regarding this behavior and can let you know when we have an update.

Since this is an issue involving the API, which is used across SDKs, I created a new issue to track this in our cross-SDK repository: aws/aws-sdk#789. Please refer to that issue for updates going forward.
