AI (illustrator) layers not showing up in AE (after effects) CC 2014

I've just come across this issue for the first time. I've imported AI files into AE many times before and had no issues like this one.


After importing the layered AI doc into AE, only one layer will show up. Attached is a video I recorded of what happens. If you can make sense of it, please let me know.
Note: I can save out eps as separate files and use those in AE no problem.

I'm working on a macbook pro retina and just did a fresh format about 2 weeks ago so everything is up to date. I've tried restarting AE and my computer. Also recreating a new AI file with different dimensions.

I blocked out the files on my computer in respect to my clients (in case you're confused).

I figured it out... you can't have more than one artboard in your illustrator file. I didn't know that but it makes sense now that I've come across the answer.

I tried everything written here, but nothing worked.
I found solution: save ai file as psd (photoshop) and import psd file.
