PR Application

[pk4187]

Hi,

I applied PR (Together with spouse) last Feb 2014 and got rejected. Now I am planning to re-apply in Feb 2015.

One of my friend advised to apply as a single applicant.

Can anyone please suggest that which option will be high chances for approval.
To apply single or with spouse ?

Best Regards
Pradeep

Apply as single. Better chance of getting rejected.

Frankly, not enough data to make a judgement call. They may have rejected for several reasons not revealed. Without know more about you we cannot hazard a guess.

Some people get rejected because they just missed by a small margin, others get rejected because they missed by a long shot.

But people from the OP's nationality(which I am also included) are auto reject cases. Over a period of last couple of years, there is enough data here to suggest that there seems some sort of a timer set to Auto Reject us exactly after 6,7,8..12 months after the application date.

There seems to be some sort of formula why some get rejected sooner and some later, may be they want us to think its random. I am pretty sure there is a formula. No of months to hold = Age*duration in the country+... etc

So OP no matter when you apply or how you apply, its not going to work.

On the question of applying solo or applying with spouse though - is it really better to apply solo? I would have thought it would be better to apply as a family unit to demonstrate more intent to stay in Singapore and be meaningful contributors to society in the form of both taxes and children....

But I'm months if not years away from applying so haven't really dug into this yet.

Doesn't matter. If you read your rejection letter again, it says "Nevertheless, you and your family members can continue to stay in Singapore on your existing passes"

What they actually mean is "You should be thankful, that you are given work passes to stay here"

[sundaymorningstaple]

If you are on an S pass, I'd not hold my breath getting PR, truth be known. In fact, if your wife is on a Q pass I'd give her a better shot at it once she's been here sufficiently long enough, but even then, chances are slim for the reasons noted by others here. If you rejection letter did say you are welcome to stay here on your existing passes, then, for all intents and purposes, it's the kiss of death trying to get PR. If it doesn't say that, then you can try again but still I don't think you will be successful. BUT. I've been wrong before so don't let that stop you from trying again. If you are successful, consider it a bonus.

ZERO chance. Just count your blessings to keep your job and S-Pass.
