Awaiting Pre-Approval (Stage 2)

From start (fingerprinting, emails to banks and funds, etc.) to finish (arrival of documents at lawyer’s office in Lisbon), it took me 3 weeks. I’m in the US. Having done the document collection before, the second time was much smoother.

I also got the documents done for my spouse and dependents in the same time frame. However, AIMA has not opened the portal for updated documents for spouse/dependents, so I may have to collect these again if too much time passes without them opening the portal.

Also, at least two people have reported that the portal has been locked for a few days. So far, no one here has been able to provide any information as to what is going on. Hopefully we’ll get some clarity soon, but don’t wait to collect your documents.
