Hi everyone. Went to Portimao, where the waiting time for the residence card is shorter than Lisbon, I’m told. Could someone send me the link to the spreadsheet so that I can insert the information? I can’t find it. Many thanks. Margaret

Thanks, updated in my previous post above
Biometrics Nov. 25, 2022 in Lisbon. Note that our lawyers told us the wait time for final approval should be measured from the date on which any final documents are submitted following the biometrics appointment. For us that is Dec. 12, 2022, when our updated FBI background check was submitted.
Main applicant Biometric at Lisbon on 26th January 2023 ( Wife & Son) at Porto on 10th May 2023.

Update: May 19 (7.5 months after biometrics) we received SEF request for payment. Any idea how long it might take for card issuance, once paid?
