well, it said to write all the addressed that she had lived in the passed.

short term rental for 2 (6 months) we wanted to be straight forward because she hadn't been in Brazil, in a while and she had give up the apartment she had in Rio to move closer in Ensenada.

Still a mistake, but try to get the certificate.  If you can't, then explain at interview.

Staying somewhere on a tourist visa isn’t residency.  Temporary rental isn’t residency either.  OP is chasing something here that won’t be required.

 

The embassy in Rio, Brazil for the interview, asks for the police report of any country weather she was residing or tourist, 

we didn't say she was residing in Mexico, but staying on a tourist visa. That was on the I-130

why a mistake?

wouldn't have come up in the interview, when they would have asked where in Brazil she lived for the past 12 months? 

what would have the answered been? That she stayed in Mexico visiting and left her life in Brazil? They would have inquired as to why she hadn't lived in Rio,  We found out today that they required any 6 month and over period of time if the person stayed outside Brazil regardless of tourism or permanent residence.

 

Thank you for the advise, we are working on getting the certificate, however, it can only be obtained in one part in the whole country, in Mexico City and in Person.

That was an error.  The I-130 has no "stayed" questions.  It asks for residence history.

 

You could always TRY to get the certificate.  See here.

correct, it asks for the last addresses she had in the past 5 years.

USCIS defines last residence as the country in which an alien habitually resided prior to entering the United States. (It does not mention legal residence or resident permits.)

My guess is you entered an address in Mexico on her petition and the period she's lived there.

If that's the case, getting a police certificate would be advisable. 

You could also wait until after the interview: they might request the police certificate or not. 

acknowledge that was the case, we put an address in Mexico, however, the embassy in RIo for the interview required all Police certificates from outside brazil with a period of 6 months or more, that including reason for tourism. We got an confirmation email from the Immigrant visa unit in Rio stating just that. So, even if we didn't put a Mexican address  in the I-130 , it would have come up in the interview as to her living situation for the pass year specially that is notated on the entries on her passport, right?

 

Thank you very much

You have the confirmation from the consulate, so there's no doubt. You need it. 

Hope you face no issues while getting the certificate. 

Best of luck.

Get either the State or Federal one as a local one is not accepted.

Thank you very much, 

The state does not give it out to tourists, only at the Federal level.

Thank you very much to all the members that responded and helped out.

 

Today, Wednesday July 17th, 2019 I discovered a place in Tijuana (2 hours north of Ensenada)  the "Govierno Estatal de Baja California"

So, I send my wife the link, she called and they told her that they are able to provide the "antecedents no penales"(the document needed) for tourist.

She took the bus to TJ, went in the building, 10 minutes later she had the document in hand.  What the state police wasn't able to do in Ensenada, the local government agency in charge of the police department for the whole state (Baja California) was able to do. Cost of the document, $15 dollars. Now, we don't have to go to Mexico City, and she is on her way to Brazil soon.
