Based on all the helpful responses above, and considering the topical question, would it be final to say that for the purposes of the GV:

1. Children who will continue to be minors after 5 years should be **left off the GV** as other forms of citizenship can be applied?

2. Children who will be majority age after 5 years should be **added onto the GV** as few alternative forms of citizenship paths exist, particularly simultaneously with their other family members?

3. The Spouse can be **left off the GV** _as long as s/he can wait a minimum of 3 years or up to 5 years_? (_Have we really answered the timeline question of whether it’s 3 (or 5) years of marriage overall or duration of marriage to a Portuguese citizen_)?

Also, does scrolling down on this [link](https://washingtondc.embaixadaportugal.mne.gov.pt/en/consular-services/consular-services/acquisition-of-portuguese-nationality-through-marriage) suggest that Portuguese community links _examples_ are as simple as:

1. Visits to Portugal (photos)
2. Receipts from hotels, restaurants, medical bills, airlines
3. Portuguese clubs or Associations in US

Thanks! 😁
