Obtaining police clearance for I-130

I am preparing I-130, I-485 for Mom, who is visiting me on tourist visa. I have everything but her police clearance report. She has one from 2013, because we thought about applying for her green card back then. The problem is in order for her to get a police clearance report in her country, she needs to be either there herself or give a power of attorney to her grand daughter. It's very complicated to do power of attorney here, because then I need to obtain apostille, then notarize at the embassy and send oversees. Is there anywhere possible to send a police report from 2013 or not to send at all. How that is going to complicate the case?
 
I thought I read it somewhere, when applying for adjustment of status part of the docs to be sent : medical exam, police clearance report. Am I wrong?
 
If she's in the US and do adjustment of status, USCIS will take her biometrics and conduct a background check, so there's no police clearance.
