Questions:
If I re-apply for PR under the family link, I am liable for NS (as per ICA). Are there folks on this board who have had to serve 21 mths NS in their mid-thirties? That will definitely knock my career back
Since I have the option to apply for PEP and PR, what would the folks here suggest is a better course of action? If I apply for PEP, would it look like I am avoiding NS/ CPF funds and potentially derail subsequent PR application?
Thanks.
As you were previously a PR for 3 years and gave it up and withdrew all your CPF to study an MBA abroad you will have virtually no chance of getting PR approval even through your Singaporean wife. Not only do the Gahmen have long memories so do some forum members so don't think by editing your post and deleting all the details about previously being a PR you are going to get any different replies.
For those who missed the original full posting, here's a brief summary
