Awaiting Pre-Approval (Stage 2)

Once the pre-approval process resumes (paused for 10 months now), real updates will automatically start flowing in.

from a news letter from IAS:

It’s important to note that the new Nationality Act, allowing citizenship applications after five years, doesn’t affect Golden Visa processing - you still need a valid residence card for citizenship. Since AIMA’s backlog may continue until late 2025, legal action remains an effective way to expedite your Visa.

We dont even know what is AIMA’s definition of a backlog. Whether that definition even covers GVs or not is an unknown. What action accounts as clearing of backlog?

On time by late 2025? We are in late 2024 going into Christmas holidays in a few weeks. I fully expect AIMA staff efficiency to go down from now onwards. More or less they would be dreaming on the iob, looking forward to bonuses for christams shopping (I wont be surprised if there is such a thing). I cant conceive in my right mind any pathway by which I will be holding my residency card same time next year (when even the pre-approval eludes me).
