Copies or originals?

Hi guys,

We received a RFE to submit a foreign birth certificate and Certified english translation. We received two RFE one for his mom and one for his dad asking for the same thing as mentioned above. Can i submit copies of certified English translation? Or do those have to be original? When we took his foreign birth cerificate to be translated they gave 1 translation.

We submitted my husband`s multilingual birth certificate, and they did not accept it. USCIS sent us an RFE (1 for his mom, and 1 for his dad). Both RFE`s ask for the same thing

"TO SUBMIT CERTIFIED ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF MY HUSBAND`S BIRTH CERTIFICATE, AND A PHOTOCOPY OF THE FOREIGN ONE.

When we took my husband`s foreign Birth certificate to be translated, the lady that translated it gave us only one translation even though we requested that we need TWO certified English translations of the foreign birth certificate.

I was thinking to take that certified English translation ,make a copy of it for his dad`s file, or vice versa. However, I am not sure if USCIS needs the original one that the lady translated, or just a copy will be fine.

I hope that made sense!
