Seal on translated birth certificate not clear - Should we send in original or version that is clear

[visavisa222 0]

My spouse has a translated birth certificate (issued by Govt agency) where the seal of it is unclear (cant even see it). The original version's seal is visible.

Would we get a RFE if we send in a copy that is lacking the seal?

The text of the document mentions the existence of a seal.

I would use a color scanner to get a legible image, then send that, if needed. Generally, (except for children) the actual certified copy of birth certificate is needed at the NVC stage and not needed for the foreigner at all at the petition stage.

Why are you including a copy of a foreign birth certificate?

Right, then use a good enough quality color scan to show the seal.
