police clearance when travelling aboard

Hi, everyone,

My mom is applying for a Green card replacement. After her 2nd finger-printing, she got a letter from INS. It asked her to provide police clearance letter because both sets of her fingerprints were found to be unreadable.

Here is my question:
My mom has traveled to another country for 9 months since the last time she was issued a lawful permanent card by USCIS. Does she need to provide a police clearance letter from another country for this period of time? It is less than 12 months. And it is a little difficult for her to obtain a police clearance letter from a foreign country since she currently reside in US. So we want to see if we can go with only US's police clearance letter.

Thank you so much for your advice and help!
