PR approval chance in 2020

[joi016]

Hi everyone!
A little concern raised up here regarding my PR application
I applied my PR on 24th Jan 2020 and keep pending till now
Nationality: Malaysian Chinese
Pass: EP
Sector: Marine Shipbuilding
Education: Degree in Chemical Engineering
Role: Engineer
Age: 25
In SG: since 2018 Jul
Salary: 3050 (Mar 2020 increased to 3200)

So my concern stated as below:
-I realized my first tax submission amount was incorrect resulted no tax payment for my first working year but I immediately settled with my 2020 tax on April
-I got increment on March but only informed ICA on Jun and they already forward the document to officer
does this will affect my result? How likely will be rejected? It was pending for so long since Jan 2020

ICA has ways to view your tax from IRAS.
I dont think your salary update will make a major difference on the outcome.
Age, Ethnicity are positives.
Salary looks to be slightly on the lower side, but you may still get it. 50-50 at the moment.

Thanks for your reply. Do you think industry sector pay one of the major concern for ICA’s evaluation?
Agree that my basic tend to low but if included variable bonus, aws and ot roughly can bring home a 50k pa. Does this range will increased my chance ?

Only basic salary is used. No other bonuses, commissions or allowances can be used.

Applied in April 2019 and was asked about parents information in Feb, since then no further response.
Profile: Indian
Age: 36
Family: Wife and son (6 yo)
Wife working
Time in SG: 6+ years

Wondering is someone has been waiting this long and haven't heard any result, good or bad. Understand its delayed due to COVID and might take longer but wanted to get a sense check from the forum

Long waiting times are not unusual any more

Hey guys! Help me assess my application!

Age: 26
Race: Indonesian Chinese
Gender: Male
Education: Diploma in Electrical, Electronics & Engineering
Marital Status: Single
Job: Associate Engineer(Etch Equipment) in Semiconductor.
Pass: S Pass Holder.
Salary: 39K p.a.
Total year of experience: 1 year.
Length of stay: 23 years.

So firstly, I have applied about 3 times but this will be the first time I'm applying by myself based on PTS scheme. So I was raised in Singapore and have been here my entire life! I'm pretty much a Singaporean by heart(at least lmao). I have family and relative living in Singapore. Most of them are Singaporeans. My step dad and step sister are Singaporean. They(parents) have tried to sponsor my PR but all failed miserably probably cause they didn't really know what to look out for back in the days. I'm currently working in the Semiconductor industry for almost a year now. I do not know if it consider a job change but my company fab was sold to a company from Taiwan, so all of the employee were officially transferred over to them. I started working for my ex employee for 6 months before the transfer was made(still same building), and another 6 months under the new employee. I'm supposed to file my first tax but because of covid, it was deferred. I have done volunteery work in the past and made a few small donations.

It's only been 44 days since I applied for SPR. So based on what I have shared, what are my chances to be approved?

Edit: forgot to mention that I have gotten recommendations letters from friends and my manager. Not sure if that'll help. (:

Low chance at the moment, in future if you increase your salary and work for a few years, you may get it.

If applying this time using the PTS scheme, you will most assuredly need to have at least 2 years of continuous employment or 3 tax assessments under your belt first (as the criteria for PTS is considerably more onerous than Family Ties.)

No

Based on what you have said, it is going to be tough for your PR application to be approved.
