PR approval chance in 2020

[sundaymorningstaple]

Even if you do marry someone from the chosen race, there is still the possibility of being rejected due to ICA viewing the marriage as one of convenience.

Low Chance

[singaporeflyer]

Cant say much as see the items in bold. Depends on how ICA will view them. No one here can say that you have a good chance.

Also salary looks too low for an auditor.

There is no need to delete your original post just because you didn’t like the response, as it has been QFPed.

Checking back to your posts on EP processing time in 2018, you too deleted the original post after getting a response, coincidentally also from SF.

Learn to observe some forum etiquette if you want to come to a public forum. I hope no one will reply to your future post.

Maybe your behaviour here reflects your character in real life and ICA is right to keep you at bay and I hope it continues to do so.

Have you applied for PR before? Both when you were single and after marriage.

Your salary is too low. Some here say 7k is the benchmark. I prefer to think of 10k as I know people above 10k who haven't been approved.
With regards to Nationality, from what i've read here, I think race is a more important factor. Are you maybe Chinese Filipinos?
Finally, make sure you add you kids to the application. If you avoid putting them on, you will definitely get rejected.

Good luck to you!

May be around 20-25% chance. But dont have too high hopes

[PNGMK]

more like 0.2 to 0.25% chance. There are probably 100,000 PR applicants of India race per year and I'd say about 0.2% get in (200).

[srk03]

@PNGMK I would really like to know the basis of these numbers you posted? or is it just what you rather feel?
Even if we take last years 32k granted applications numbers, here's more realistic breakdown:

Note: I have considered 100% of the eligible non-resident population is putting up for PR application and based on 2018-2019 stats available:

Total PR granted 2018-19 32000

• Non-resident in Singapore 1,600,000 Applications Success-rate Granted PR Per-Year
  EP 11(%) 176000 not known
  S-pass 12(%) 192000 not known
  non-singaporean spouse 8600 49% 4200
  Total eligible to apply PR 376600
  Remaining 27800

Considering high birth rate amongst Singaporean Indian (second to Malay), even if ICA approves 6% Indian applications (compared to 9% Singapore Indian population)----------------------1668 (Per Year)

[PNGMK]

yes your math is correct IMO - it's a single digit % of the total approvals and probably lower than 6% I suspect, (much worse for "others'). So you're looking at ~1,500 India applicants approved and of those a significant chunk are reserved for rocket scientists and complete families with cannon fodder (male children) and hi-pot candidates from 2019 and "invited" applicants and investor applicants (they all take up the same bucket WRT race).. It's probably not 100,000 Indian applicants per year but 30,000 is not impossible to imagine so 5% on a probability basis without accounting for the various weighting factors BUT.... we know there are repeated application failures so something is pulling the numbers down... what it is I don't know but I would still contend you're at a chance of less than 1% in current climate. Also I don't think the approval rate is consistent through the months. I used to think it's a moving or sliding window but I now think it's more like a batch or gated process where after some statistical analysis (probably birth/death and arrival rates with some political input) every few months some high up says "OK - you can let in 100 Indians, 10 others and as many pre approved Chinese as you can find" and some gofer runs out and posts off approval letters to the top India applicants 100 in the pile. The trick is to get towards the top of that pile and ICA make it very hard to work out the factors for that... (to avoid people gaming the system).

An excellent analysis of how things probably work. On the bottom, a weighted system that arranges applicants by score from 0 to 100. On the top, a gated strategy that looks at population stats, employment by industry, etc, and says, "Give us XXX of race YYY."
