Thank you for that advice, I emailed the embassy the other day and they just emailed me back and said that due to it being a CR-1 visa, the document may be requested but is not mandatory, and that a scanned copy should suffice.  We are very relieved!

Yes, as has already been mentioned, the Petitioner's Birth Certificate is not typically looked at during a spouse visa interview.  The list it's on in a general laundry list for immigrant visa applicants.  Much more relevant if filing for parent, etc.  A recent example I've seen is a Naturalized US Citizen filing for their mother in an African country.  Petitioner's birth certificate is not about US Citizenship.  It's about actually being the daughter of the visa applicant.  Even though USCIS required it for that purpose, it tends to be more relevant all the way through.
