Birth certificate - short-form but has all required information. Is this acceptable for AOS?

I'm a Canadian citizen, but born in Poland, and currently waiting for my AOS (through marriage) to be approved. I realized today that I sent my short-form (excerpt) Polish birth certificate with my application and I'm not sure if that will be sufficient. On one hand, I saw that the State Department website says that only the complete/long-form version of the Polish BC is acceptable for immigration. But some information from USCIS and other places say that the BC needs to contain my name, birth date, place of birth and both parents' names, and the BC I sent definitely has all that information. So will it be OK? I'm wondering if I should start the process of acquiring my complete BC just in case I get an RFE since they don't give much time to respond. But, if they were going to send me an RFE, would they have sent it by now? They sent me a notice about how I need to bring the I-693 medical exam form to my interview, so I know they have looked through my package and that was the only thing they flagged as missing.

 

Anyone have any insights? Thanks!

 

For reference, here is my timeline so far:
3/21 - NOA received for I-130/485/765/131 package

4/17 - Received letter telling me to bring my I-693 (medical exam) to the interview

4/20 - Biometrics done.

if your birth certificate has your parents names etc, that's all that's required.  That's generally the information that differentiates from a short and long form BC.
