I have received an RFE for my Venezuelan Fiance to prove that she is divorced from her ex per commond law statute.  The recept date is 4/17/200 and the due date is 7/13/2020.  She sent me official documents in Spanish and I had them translated by a certified translation service.  Her documents clearly show that she is within the common law statues of her state to be considered divorced.  My question is, since everything is closed in Venezuela, including the office that appostilles, should I send copies of the original documents and the translations to the USCIS, with an explanation that because of COVID, we could not get the documents appostilled?   Or should I wait until the offices open?  I don't think the latter is an option.

 

thank you for any and all comments

All evidence submitted to the uscis shall be legible photocopies of original documents UNLESS an original document is specifically requested.   No apostille needed.  

YMMV
