Hi all,
I have read a lot about the chances and requirements for PR approval. In my case, I am an Indian married working on an S-Pass for just over an year. I earn 3.5k per month, just renewed the S-Pass after 1 year.
I know being Indian reduces my chance for a PR, but I want to know wether my educational qualification of having a Ph.D. (Immunology) from an Indian University (Full time course) have a god impact which can cover my race and salary problems. I am working in National university of Singapore, as a research assistant in cancer research and drug discovery field. I received my Ph.D degree awarded just a month back, so could not get a change in post or pay scale due to delay in getting certificates. My pay scale will be same for next one year and by next year mid, I hope it would change to 4.5-5k per month.
So, is it OK to give a try on PR on this year on should I wait for next year's salary update.
Another part is that my wife is also in singapore on a Trainee Employment Pass, as an unpaid trainee in NUS. As she is not a dependent pass holder of me, can i add her along with my PR application. If yes, Is it a positive factor that my wife is having a Master's degree (Indian University) and having a TEP.
I am looking for feed back from experienced users of this forum as I cannot find any details on the impact of having a PH.D degree on PR application, not even about persons from science stream. All discussion in this forum seems to be from IT or banking sector area, which I think is not having much unofficial- quota from ICA.
Thank you all in advance for helping me....
