Hi All,
I'm a Singaporean and was planning on getting married to my GF from China. She has been in Singapore since Dec 13 as I applied a double entry visa for her and we got extended a further 18 days or so because we have a ROM (registry of marriage) date booked.
However, my GF's grandmother recently fell quite sick so we are postponing the ROM registration and are rushing back to China before the date of the initial ROM. My question is:
1) Is it possible that I apply for a SVP for my GF for her to come down in Apr and help with re-arranging the ROM registration? She was here close to 90 days (Dec to Mar) and it would only be a month in between before we apply for another SVP, from what I understand chances aren't great for approval.
2) The date of ROM is uncertain as it depends on her grandmother's condition. I would like her to come back and help me re-arrange the ROM date but as it is uncertain when we will be booking the date, what purpose of visit should I give ICA when I apply for the SVP?
3) ROM only allows us to book dates 3 months in advance, meaning that the earliest date I can get is around Jul if I were to book a date now. Would ICA be difficult in letting me extend her visa till Jul due to our previous changing of the ROM date?
I have tried speaking to ICA but their general enquiries line is not very helpful. Would appreciate any opinions on what I should do.
Thanks!!!
