What are the portal application status names? My application is currently saying “Candidature Aceite” (“Application Approved” in English). I did my biometrics in Lisbon in January, 2023 and my original application is from October, 2021. I don’t remember if “Candidature Aceite” is just the pre-approval or if it’s moved forward in any way (It’s been so many years, I’m forgetting..). What will the status name change to as it progresses? And what are the next steps I need to take?
Edit:
I found this:
- Em análise = under analysis, once you’ve paid your initial application fee
- Candidatura Aceite = pre-approved
- Transferido SIISEF = final approval (SIISEF is the national immigration system)
Other statuses are possible, e.g. if documents are missing, etc.
- Aguarde envio = initial status before the submission, or later when documents are missing and have to be re-submitted.
So, unfortunately, I haven’t progressed since biometrics.
