Husband PR by Local Sponsorship rejected

Post by aryascarlett001 » Sun, 13 Oct 2024 7:33 pm

Hi,

We just received ICA letter indicating rejection of PR application submitted in June 2024. This application was submitted by me on behalf of him as the local sponsor.

As the letter does not contain much details, any insight will be appreciated to help us understand the reasons of rejection.

Myself:
Age: 34 female
Education: Bachelor from NTU and 2 Masters from SMU
Nationality: Singaporean
Race: Chinese
Salary: 9k per month
Profession: Senior manager in the financial services industry

My partner:
Age: 33 male
Education: Bachelor and Post Diploma from overseas university
Nationality: New Zealand
Race: Caucasian
Salary: 9k per month
Profession: International School teacher

Our family cluster:
Husband is working on EP since 2021
We were married in 2023
Our first son (Singapore citizen by birth) was born this year in April. His name was included in our application.

We are planning to re-apply in 4 years, after we have our second child and our first child grows older. However, I am very much worried that his application will be rejected again as there is no clarity on what the authority is looking for. I know that his nationality, race and industry work against his favour, but there is nothing much we can do to change those.

Any insight will be appreciated.

You simply applied too soon after marriage so it looks like a marriage of convenience even though the relationship is genuine.

Usually need to wait for 2-3 years of marriage to show ICA that the union is stable before applying. Then chances are better.

You didn’t mention how long you’ve been working for.

Usually, for citizens of developed countries in a reasonably stable job married to a Singaporean, the ICA could probably take a more lenient view of a marriage which is more recent. However it probably wouldn't hurt to wait a bit longer.

^^

OP, I won't even wait 4 years to reapply. I'd just apply again within the next 2 years. For cases like this, it's really just a matter of time than anything else. Also, I wouldn't worry even if the application gets rejected again.

I wanna clarify about your son’s name being included in the application.

You don’t mean applying PR for your son, right? Since he’s already a SC.

You meant that you included yourself & your son as family ties for your spouse.

Does either of you have criminal records or does he have blackmark by ICA?

Did you apply via new ePR system ?

It's the classic 4 month rejection. This most likely indicates you failed one or the initial baseline requirements. So they didn't even keep the application on the wait-list of a few months.
