Stuck in Limbo

I came to Portugal in 2022 shortly after getting married on a D7 visa. Sadly, my spouse wasn’t allowed to come on an accompanying visa. I was asked to apply for reunification from SEF. After seven months, I got an appointment and got my residence card. Then the nightmare began. There were no slots for reunification in 2023. When it started in 2024, I tried everything to get one but it didn’t work. Fast forward to January 2025, I used a lawyer and sued Aima. I have been waiting for six months now with no response from Aima. During the wait period, my residence permit expired. Now my lawyer worries that Aima could refuse to give me an appointment because the card isn’t valid. I tried to complain on the yellow book and got a response from Aima that they cannot give me an appointment because I do not have a child in national territory. During this time, my spouse has tried to visit my thrice and he’s been denied a visa despite having all the required documentation. So now it’s been three years away from my family. I missed my father’s burial, can’t see my husband. Stuck in literal hell and some people think i deserve this.
