Hello friends. I'm a March filer and I haven't received my NOA2/RFE.

Earlier this year in June I went to the Spain consulate (or whatever it's called) here in Taiwan to request a copy of my police record (I lived in Spain in high school, so 16-18-ish)

They told me the entire government was shut down so they could just do it electronically for me. 

I received the files via email and they're mostly in Spanish. 

 

My questions:

1. Would I need to get it translated and notarized?

2. Does it matter if it's not an original copy? 

 

What else am I missing I'm so lost. Thank you!

Unless it is in English or Chinese, it must be translated.

Thanks, I guess I’ll have it translated to chinese. Do you know if they’ll request an original copy? Even if the government wasnt processing anything physically?

You can't provide an original to AIT if you can't get an original.
