AIMA payment acceptance time?

My application was submitted recently with the payment (618 euro) to AIMA but it seems it takes a while for the AIMA to accept the payment. It has been 3 weeks so far.
It seems the rest of the family can not get submitted till “the investor’s” payment is accepted.
Anyone else having similar issues & how long it has taken you?

Hello - yes, we are having the same problem. My husband is the primary applicant and our attorney submitted his application file on 26 May. My husband received a notification that same day via email that the government received his application. Our attorney sent payment to the government on 27 May, and tells us she has a receipt the money was sent and received. She says the issue is that the payment is not linked to my husband’s application. Until the payment is linked to his application, it appears there is no mechanism to submit my documentation as his spouse. Unfortunately, as we have now been waiting almost a month for the government to link the payment to his application, my criminal background check is about to expire. At this point we don’t know what else to do. So we wait.

I have read of other individuals experiencing the same or similar issue. (I think there’s another thread on nomadgate about it. I am new here and still learning how to navigate the site.) Some have reported resolution after several days or weeks.

Good luck!

I am in the same situation. My application was turned in on May 13 and no acknowledgement yet. My law firm let me know that they have many clients in the same situation. They sent a letter to AIMA on all of their clients behalf to see if they can get something moving. They are not expecting a response though. I am hoping that AIMA recognizes the error/issue soon. Please stay in touch so that we cen share what works once it does.

Hello! My application was submitted fee paid by the attorney on 4/4/2025. Our AIMA portal has said Status of Application: Pending Payment (or something similar) since then until just recently. As of 6/18/2025 our application status has been updated to: Application Under Analysis. So it seems the payment has posted after 2.5 months? And we 1 step closer to the next step :wink:

We are hoping to put my spouse’s family reunification application in ASAP in case there are rule changes this year. We will just feel better if both of our applications are in process. Does anyone know what the next “Status of Application” is after Application Under Analysis?

We just submitted on June 4th & “Descricao” shows as “Analise” and “Situacao” shows as “Emitido (Red font)” . The lawyer says our status is investor payment not gone thru yet and we can’t submit dependents yet.
