Hi, everyone! Thanks for being so hepful all the time!  We sent our AOS package in August and got mail that it was received. 

Later on USCIS sent mail is says they need us must submit a copy of my birth certificate issued by appropriate civil authority in my country of birth. We sent only a copy of that and it was denied.

The thing is we have it translated in my country only electronic version because at the interview for visa CO took my translation, so USCIS say we can send this scan by email, what we are going to do. My question: 

1 Will it be accepted electronic version with stamps and apostile?

2 will we have to bring an original translation on interview for AOS?

3 if yes can we still translate it here or we will have to send my BC back home and translate again?

Have a good day all!

I didn't yet send my package but i did my birth certificate translation here online. 

I just googled USCIS compliant document translation and found a number of companies who offer the service.

 

Here's what USCIS says about translations in their instructions for I-485:

 

"If you submit a document with information in a foreign language, you must also submit a full English translation. The translator must sign a certification that the English language translation is complete and accurate, and that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. The certification must include the translator’s signature. DHS recommends the certification contain the translator’s printed name and the date and the translator’s contact information."

 

Doesn't look like they need the whole apostile deal.

 

Hope that helps
