PR approval chance in 2020

[TropicalExpat]

Could you please evaluate the chances of my PR application being successful? I plan to apply this month.

Age: 30
Gender: Female
Marital Status: Single
Race: Indian
Current Pass: EP
Education: Ph.D. in Engineering from a top Singapore uni
Duration of stay in Singapore: ~7 years (Including Ph.D.)
Occupation: Researcher in a semicon company
Salary: ~73k per annum
Work Experience: 1+ year
Number of tax assessments filed: 1

Thank you!

Ethnicity is a major negative. It will rather depend on what kind of research you are doing and whether it is specifically what Singapore is looking for. Salary is also low based on ethnicity.
It might be in a field they want to be strong in, but with only 1 year's work experience it probably does you no favours.
You never know, but I would recommend waiting for at least 3 tax years before you apply.

Hi All,
i applied for PR recently, i want to ask my chances of approval, based on your experience in this forum can i know my chances.

Age : 27
Race : Chinese
Gender : Female
Marital Status : Single
Education : Top university in Europe/UK
Job : IT system engineer in finance sector
Length of stay : almost 4 years
Salary :84k+ base salary

Ethnicity is a positive and you are young. Do you have kids? These also factor into their decision.
Have you be working for all your time here?
I wonder if I am the only person who dislikes it when people say they went to a "top university". Who would say they went to a bad university

I think you stand reasonable chance.
I don't think your nationality helps you in this case, but your ethnicity does.
You are youngish, salary is ok, and you have submitted a few years of taxes.

I would apply if I were you and see how it goes (waiting time seems to be 12 months or more)

Good luck and we would appreciate if you gave us an update on your outcome.

Hi

Thank you for the reply. My Ph.D. was in Material Science and I am currently a member of the R&D team of my company, working on microelectrical device fabrication.

Apply after 2 -3 years of working in Singapore. Is the top Singapore Uni a local Uni?

I think your chance is pretty low with such little experience.

My view is, apply, but don't be surprised if you get a rejection.
