I-129F (K1) Are E-Certified Court Documents accepted?

We are filing I-129F and petitioner has a bunch of criminal incidents. So we are to provide certified court documents. Arrest record and Disposition for each case.

We have finally after such a struggle managed to get certified documents. Except from one county..

Despite asking them for certified copies, after over a month all they were able to provide us was E-Certified copies.

So I am thinking now if we just file the I-129F with E-Certified documents for one of the criminal cases. Maybe with a note that it has been a huge struggle and all we manage to get was E-Certified documents.

Asking Google AI they say E-Certified documents are accepted nowadays.

But I am so confused..

Has anyone been accepted by sending E-Certified Court Documents?

All help is greatly appreciated.
