Delaying AOS

[LSnBigBear 61]

A buddy of mine is having dire financial issues since his wife arrived from Philippines in July (and yes this post is for him, I have not filed yet). He needed the money he submitted for her AOS so he cancelled the check earlier this month. He thought they would give him 30 days to come up with the money. Nope they gave him 9 days now due on the 25th of this month.

So my question is as he asked me (don't shoot the messenger): Will they accept payments for her AOS?? He would like to keep it going as her intention is to travel back to Philippines in May as she needs to move her kids to a smaller unit which is less expensive. He believes he will start earning enough soon by March to get out of his current financial mess.

Or for anyone with greater knowledge of this. What options does he have?

Thanks

He needs to come up with the full amount or wait to file until he has enough to do so. If they really want to file now, he could try and borrow the money needed from someone and then pay them back when he has it. There are not many options. Pay the full amount or don't file. That is about it.

There isn't a payment plan. Taking a loan from a third party is the only other way if he doesn't have the fee upfront and he's not willing to wait.
