In the light of recent announcements Iām trying to understand the status of my GV application - is anyone able to advise what status would define my case?
Here are the facts - i applied for the GV online in December 21ā¦i an received an electronic response a few days later to say the application is āSituaĆ§Ć£o do Requerimento Em anĆ”liseā. ā¦(I did a capital transfer through a Portuguese bank).
Is the next step now āpre-approvedāā¦Iāve been in my current status for over a year - is that usual?
FYI- I already moved to Lisbon and travel in & out on UK passport without problems but have nothing to prove my status
If when you go to the ari portal you get something that says āApplication acceptedā or āCandidatura Aceiteā you are pre-approved.
The next step is getting a biometrics appointment - those should become available in the coming months for you (and me, Iām in a similar position to you). Your lawyer should jump on booking appointments as soon as they are available. Talk with them about the specifics
Thank you for replying.
The latest status seems to still be āunder analysisā ;(
I guess I still have to wait ( and hope the rules arenāt changed retrospectively)
If you know your date more accurately, you can figure out how soon you can expect pre-approval based on who else is getting preapproval. But itās a bit mixed up, some folks seem to get preapproval faster than others on the same date.
