Well, I had the notary state it was a copy of the original document (I can get it anytime online and there's a code that can be used to verify its authenticity online, however, it does expire after 90 days and it has been 9 months already )That was smart move. I did not submit Criminal record from origin country, but good thing was that I was able to obtain a copy which already translated to English, so I did not have to go through notary.
Hopefully I can get IVM soon also!
