We already got ours from a local office so we didn't see what the kiosk was actually giving you, we just happened to see it while at the mall.

 

Yeah they got one for me from the kiosk but it looks exactly the same as the one i printed online from home. They claim it to be a certified copy which is what i used to submit with my AOS package and my attorney said it was OK, I fired him because he was such a bad attorney but I just want to make sure I have what USCIS is asking for the interview, I don’t want to delay anything.

I've never heard of that being acceptable when "originals" were needed.

Usually it's an embossed stamp or the actual stamp on the special paper that they use.

 

The electronic copy they send you will be valid for use in Mexico for official reasons, but those are their rules.

 

Yes, I heard about the kiosks too, so those aren’t valid either? They tried to get mine from the civil registry but they referred them to a kiosk.

This isn't exactly a certified copy, it's printing from your own computer.

That is correct, it’s still considered certified since it comes from the government but would it be something valid?

You would never get an original for a birth certificate. It's always a copy. 

 

That electronic copy you mention is totally fine. You should have it with you because it's required. You also need a translation.

Will this also apply to the interview? Is this something that the officer will accept?

Hi, we submitted our packet 2 months ago, I am originally from Mexico and hired an attorney to do our paperwork. Since everything is closed in Mexico, they are currently issuing online certified copies of Birth Certificates that you pay for and print at home which is what we submitted with our AOS packet. I have read a few threads and have noticed that people recommend to take originals of everything which I currently possess with the exception of my birth certificate. After speaking to a couple of family members in Mexico, it’s been concluded that the “online” issuance of Birth Certificates is the new way of obtaining one, regardless if you go to Mexico in person, it will look Identical to the one you’d print. I guess my question is, will it be OK to take a printed certified copy or will my passport suffice?
