We still have a photocopy of the translation certificate for Elena's birth certificate that was used for the original K1 submission. Of course, the USCIS has this one that was originally signed by the translator. Do we need to go and get this birth certificate translated again just to be able to provide a new originally signed translation for the AOS application, or are we allowed to send one of our filed photocopies from the original submission? It was notorized (the original, that is) if this makes any difference.

We just sent a photocopy, they didn't ask to see the original at the interview so we were fine.
