Chance is very lowFarook2019 wrote:Hi guys,
I'm an Indian Muslim married to a local in Singapore. its been 1 year since we got married.
I got my Long-term approved after 4months of waiting time. Once i received the long-term, my wife sponsored and applied a PR for me through ePR in May 2018. Its been 8 months already and still the status is pending.
Wife is working as an Admin with 2k per month.
Male, Indian, Civil Engineer, Age-26, Graduated with B.E, M.BA in India and doing my M.Sc in NTU. Salary is 70k per anum.
Working in Singapore since 2014.
This PR thing is holding us from buying an HDB. since I'm a foreigner, we are not able to get even 50% of the housing loan.
Even we met MP yesterday to expedite the PR process with ICA.
please advice my chance of approval.
Singapore is pretty much a meritocratic society. ICA isn’t gonna give a rat’s ass even if they see your application accompanied with a letter from your MP.Mintygreen wrote:Hi, I am facing the same issue. Does meeting the MP helps? What can they do?
Sifarish literally means recommendation. You are putting it across as if South Asians invented it. I am pretty sure South Asians don't go an complain to their MP for every small problems. It is a local tradition here, to meet MP.mystic_river wrote:Singapore is pretty much a meritocratic society.

I know this gets asked around here a lot because this works elsewhere (particularly South Asia. They even have a word for it and it’s called sifarish). But this isn’t gonna fly here.
You can still try though. There isn’t anything stopping you.
And you would be correct that it literally does mean reccomendation. However, if you had any semblance of the actual language, you’d know that when used in context, it has a negative connotation of “asking for a favor”Wd40 wrote:Sifarish literally means recommendation.

So your comment is absolutely bullshit.
