Arrg... A new RFE that requires us to travel to Peru

[mjrussell 2]

My wife and I had one RFE on her DS-230, which was really just a dumb mistake on our part. We fixed the problem with the DS-230 and the additional marriage certificate they requested. I called yesterday to check to see if they've reviewed it yet, and they said now we're missing something different - a police record for Peru (where my wife lived until the age of 17).

We had already gone to the Peruvian consulate and requested a police certificate for the visa. They gave my wife her Certificado de Antecedentes Penales, similar to what she received from Chile (where she is now, and where her interview will be). But according to the operator I talked to, they also need another court record certificate, which can only be obtained in Peru. She referenced the reciprocity page for Peru on state.gov, and it does say that the US Embassy in Peru requires both those documents, but doesn't say anything about other embassies.

Does this sound right that they would require this? This is going to be a real hardship for us to have to either travel to Peru twice, or travel and wait the 1-2 weeks for the processing time of this document.
