Unless your circumstances have significantly changed since your application in March I wouldn't waste ICA time.
Dear Jaycee, thanks.JayCee wrote:Why would you appeal after a year, just put in a new application.
But no, if you get a job and work for one year, you will have a slim-to-none chance, the PR application forms ask for the last 3 years tax returns so...

Frankly, I'd think about Australia or Canada. If she is married and applies alone and you are here, it will be rejected again for sure. If she has to wait for a couple of years, unless the marriage is one of convenience, it shouldn't matter all that much.sanky_001 wrote:
Dear Jaycee, thanks.
Ok, I am happy to wait and apply after paying tax for 3yrs.
But what about my wife? Any idea what are the chances if my wife alone applies ? Or she has to wait for another 3yrs for my sake and apply PR again as a couple?
Because she has already been paying tax for over 4yrs and works for a reputed company. She has never switched companies and has been loyal to the same company over 20yrs.
When she applied PR in 2010 (she was single at that time), she got rejected. So this is the second rejection for her.
Thanks again. Cheers!

Sorry to hear. Has your wife considered applying for a PEP (I think her income & time qualifies)? In some respects given your situation I think that your wife being on an employment pass is actually a bonus. It means that you get a DP and not a LTSVP which makes it easier to work part time (if you need as part of your studies) and the PEP is valid for 5 years and not the standard 2.sanky_001 wrote:I hope MOM renews her EP this december, just keeping our fingers crossed.

Other things to do are start contributing to CPF (you can as a foreigner) - and its a good way to start saving for a deposit, volunteer in the local community and generally evidence your intention of putting down roots here.
It is true that at the moment people are seeing this as a 5 year period where they don't have to worry about visa renewals, rather than a stepping stone to PR, but I think that certain individuals will be shocked to find that NOT everyone wants to live in Singapore permanently (and sometimes 2 years is not long enough to make that decision). The PEP was also a reaction to the UK's Highly Qualified Migrant Visa - in the case of qualified talent Singapore is in competition with other jurisdictions for these people and needs to at least offer what other jurisdictions are offering.sundaymorningstaple wrote: Unfortunately, everybody saw it as nothing more than a 5 year visa. Now they are tightening up there as well.
