The nationality law currently defines residency as starting from the date of application, not your card.

…but we also know from postings on this board that the AIMA implementation of that is totally random:

Wait time now counts toward 5 year residency?

You can also scroll up in this thread and read different recent experiences. It would seem not everybody working for AIMA has got the memo. If you’re hoping for consistency then I’m afraid AIMA (and Finanças, and…) will disappoint you
