Didn't see a topic for those who have filed for AoS in August of 2014 so I figured I'd create one.

Met my SO in high school were friends for about 5 years, started dating on my 21st birthday (Sept. 2011). Moved in together after about a year and a half (May 2013) live in our first apt for a year then recently moved in May 2014 to a bigger place.

Got married June 2014.

Sent out AoS documents, concurrent to Chicago just this morning (8/2/2014).

Post your story and timeline. Patience was never my virtue but I feel like we can get through this as a community. I will cry, laugh, rejoice and be frustrated right along with you.

Hi! We sent ours off this morning also. We met online last year while I was planning a trip to Europe. He arrived on July 25th from Ireland with his K1 visa and we married on the 28th of July. He brought his 10-year old son with him, so we had double the paperwork. We have a formal wedding planned for October 11th this year, and his family is coming from South Africa. I can't wait! :)

Hello! And wow why did it cost $390?

The appointment itself was $150, I had to get a chest Xray ( in Belarus I was given a BCG vaccine, which gives false positive on TB test), blood test ( for STDs), an MMR vaccine and Tdap vaccine - all that was another $240.

International student office at my college told me that my student health insurance covers only instances where I am sick, and wouldn't cover vaccinations and various tests. So I decided to go ahead and pay the $240 to get everything done right there.

Wow your doc was pricey.. mine cost $100. I had the BCG vaccine in my home country as well, but I'd had a chest xray within 2 years though so they didn't give me one this time. They just listened to my lungs and breathing and said everything sounded good so they labeled it a false positive. Also I'm not due for the TDAP until Dec. And I was good on all other vaccines. Guess I got lucky.

Guess I got lucky.

I called around a couple of doctors before I got an appointment, one of the offices said they accepted cash only (!!), after I heard that, I pretty much assumed that no matter where I go, I'm going to get ripped off somehow. My appointment lasted almost 3 hours, 2.5 of it was sitting around and waiting. The doctor didn't directly answer my question about vaccine schedule, he just said "you should have had at least 2 more of TDAP and 1 more MMR".

Good that you got to have a cheaper appt :) did you have to get a blood test?

Yeah there's no escaping the blood test haha. I looked at my vaccination record and did research on the timeline. They wanted to do the TDap but I pointed out I wasn't due for it yet. Vaccines are covered by insurance if you go to your family/ regular doctor. I wasn't about to pay out of pocket for them.

Hello everyone ! I'm also preparing to ( Finally ) send my AOS package this month lol, Everything combined looks like a huge book! :lol:

It definitely took awhile to get the funds together. After extensive research & calling what seemed to be almost every civil surgeon in my area, I finally found one that was affordable at $185. I also had mostly all my vaccinations already like Castlerosse & only needed TDap & bloodwork done. Currently waiting to receive my I-693 packet, which I will pick up tomorrow & then everything should be ready to go! Good luck to all fellow August filers :)
