I’m probably just looking for some validation here. We had our AOS interview and learned at the end that biometrics was unable to get my wife’s fingerprints twice. We now have to get certified copies of police certificates from every place that she’s lived in the past 5 years. The RFE states in bold letters that the documents must be certified original or certified copies. It also specifically calls out Brazil and the location where we now live as locations that she has lived in the past 5 years.

 

The police certificate in Brazil is obtained online. We still have a copy of the one that we submitted at (and was accepted by) the consulate in Brazil for her K1. Obviously, it doesn’t have a stamp or a seal since it’s obtained online, but it does have a digital signature that can authenticated. It is still valid since it’s within the 2 year period (and she hasn’t returned to Brazil). 
 

The US Department of State specifically lists certified copies as not being available in Brazil (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Brazil.html). Am I overthinking this? I should be safe to include the police certificate from the K1?

Print the reciprocity documents text that states certified copies are not available in Brazil and include it in the RFE response. 

Thank you, that is great advice.
