This question is literally addressed in the actual wiki thread where you are posting!?! 
There is no magic solution here. You can wait or you can try something. For most people it doesn’t matter because AIMA isn’t giving out generous helpings of appointments.
The strategy I followed was to ask my lawyers to send mail to AIMA. Lawyers seem to be having better luck than individuals. They know the right format (subject line should contain “ARI”, etc) and the cadence for retrying.
I wonder if these folks are currently living in PT or not.
FYI, I know of 2 cases at least (mine and another person) whose cards expired LAST YEAR (2024) and we still cannot renew families. So go figure re: priorities.
And we have emailed AIMA too. And don’t live in PT.
Thanks for the info.
Thank you.
Same here !
