Promises, promises indeed.
I suppose that given the size of the immigration problem and the inability of SEF, and now AIMA, to deal with applications since 2021 (4 years) leading to lawsuits that pressure AIMA to do its job within the period stipulated by law (Is it Lawsuit time? (Processing times) - #758 by PTbound) - we should consider the proposed investment in AIMA to be (more than) justified.
AIMA certainly needs more personnel as well as an updated system that doesn’t require multiple verifications prior to approval.
