An update for August 2014 filers..

Apr 28 - AOS fee paid and acknowledged and I-864 submitted

Jun 1 - got 30 day letter

Jul 7 - received letter from NVC stating issue with boxes checked on I-864

Our attorney was not happy, said NVC made a mistake. We resubmitted a response and and sent them a new copy as was asked for.

NVC letter also included some paragraphs in English and Greek (!!!) how to obtain police certificates in Mali. Considering that English or Greek are not languages of Mali (French is spoken there), their choice of communication is strange.

Jul 27- got another 30 day letter.

2 days ago (Aug 16) my AOS fee paid went to N/A from COMPLETED.Hopefully that means that someone at NVC is doing something. :joy:

Our birthdays are coming up and of course Thanksgiving is important to us. Hope we can spent them together...finally...in our home...in Chicago...like we did almost 2 years ago now.

This entire process is just wrong...I can't see a reason why fees for AOS can't just be mailed up front and paid (when we file with USCIS) and other documents submitted at the same time? We could then give our spouses a new US notarized I-864 to bring to the consulate if they need more recent copy.

Absolutely no reason to wait over a year being frustrated and separated from your spouse. If they don't hurry up, my only chance to see him this year will be in December in Mali...So frustrating! :protest:
