How many days did it take for you from DUC payment to receiving the card?
I paid my DUC on 12/11/2025, and my card was issued on 04/12/2025. I then paid my dependent sonâs DUC on 19/12/2025, but his card has not yet arrived. Is there a way to check the card issuance dates and validity in the AIMA system?
Update: Received notification of Final Approval on March 11
Lawyers werenât able to access DUC until Apr 9 and payment was done on Apr 13.

Congrats.
Has the ARI portal verified your payment?
I paid on the 13th. Still waiting for any update.
May I know if the DUC is generated from portal or by email? My lawyer told me got my final approval but need to wait for the payment
Normally via the portal, but it has had an issue due to the fees increasing, so they have recently been sending via email.
Lawyer said no response from aima on the request to generate DUC manually .. any way can push aima on that ?

Received my card today. However, no approval for the family members. The lawyer said no idea and not predictable for when they will get approval. I hope I donât need to wait too long.

Anyone here same with me that got the final approval in early Apr however still unable to pay the DUC due to portal failure and no response from aima for generating the manual DUC? I am wondering how long I need to wait âŚ. 
Depending on your objectives, you might not even want to go through with the GV programme anymoreâŚ

Maybe Iâm reading the tea leaves too deeply, but I noticed a change in my ARI portal - wondering if anyoneâs seen similar? In the section containing my NIF and SSN, at the bottom is a new blue pill with text saying that I must upload proof of my fiscal ID and also bring it to an appointment.
I had my biometrics in February, and wonder what this could mean. Anyone else seeing something like this?
(edit: we uploaded a copy of this proof as part of the initial application, of course, and that file is still there in the portal.)
