Has anyone’s status changed from “awaiting payment” after a successful DUC payment ?
No. Still waiting.
Our lawyers confirmed just now that primary applicant status changed to “em análise”. They were able to generate DUC for the dependant as well.

Mine unfortunately still says “Awaiting Payment Confirmation”
Let’s see if any thing changes soon.
Yours finally moving is very encouraging.

Hi guys, mine is still showing Awaiting Payment confirmation
any one else had their status change to Analysis …
If yes, please let me know who your lawyer is and whether you think it had anything to do with them pushing AIMA. Please!
Thank you all.
We are in the same boat. Discussing with my lawyer filing a suit (which I know people do a lot for this process). But frankly need to get this thing moving…
How long has it been for you?
For me its been 25 or 26 days since the payment. no changes yet for me as of Today
I guess everyone decided to sit silently and wait.

Hahah what do you suggest ?
Lol. Nothing else that can be done but ever since @LunaRae confirmed their payment went through no one else has given any updates.
Share your updates people! Even if its still the same status.

No change here
Thanks for the update @mizzy
Can we somehow share the law firm each person is using. Maybe we might find a possible link to why some people are having their process pushed through and others are not. Could also be that it’s actually just random. Might be worth a try.
I’ll get this started.
Liberty are my lawyers.
Hahah same but I doubt it’s law firm related?

Agreed, I don’t think it’s law fim related either. When we asked our lawyers, they said nothing left to do other than check everyday
We are working with NSM

Hello, my final approval email arrived on April 21 and I am still unable to pay. My lawyers (Fresh Portugal) have been trying daily. They have spoken with multiple AIMA personnel in various offices. They have been told that my card has been issued but until the payment issue is resolved they can’t mail it. Today my attorney emailed me this: “I just finished talking with Rui from AIMA Azores, he has been checking with the coordinators if this problem is normal among other applicants or not and they advised me to wait until the second DUC payment deadline expires (which is tomorrow, May 7th), to issue a new one and check if the problem continues.
I have suggested paying in person at AIMA in Lisbon, that they just send me a different reference or another direct form of payment, or for AIMA Azores to send me a specific payment reference… But they say it can only be issued through the ARI Portal because otherwise that will mess with their Financial Department standard procedures…”
Yet for people doing their Bios under the new 2025 process, paying in-person is exactly what they’re doing!
PS. different comment today in the ‘Stage 4’ thread suggests this applicant was able to pay under the ‘pre-2025’ regime:

Finally… Under Analysis.!!!
Asked my lawyer to generate another DUC and pay it.
Took a day or so for it to be payable. They paid and 48 hours later application under analysis.
Not sure what will happen to the previously paid money but atleast it’s moving
