Hah! Irrelevant but funny.

Anyway OP, if your wife is not paid in SGD in SGD bank accounts for her freelance work, I think that's where the grey area is but I must add that I'm not in the position to comment.

And, guys, what's wrong with him applying with her together as his spouse as a family? I've always thought the consensus is that it is better to apply together. Unless there is something I'm not aware of.

For my case, i applied PR alone with own merit point, approved after about 1.5 month and after all process done applied as sponsor PR for my wife, got rejected ( not too sure is it she pregnant at the moment). half a year later after my girl born, applied as sponsor for both of them and got approved after 3 months.

May i ask the reason your wife not working?
Can you tell us the dates when your's got approved and when your wife's got rejected? May be there in lies the clue.
my approval got it somewhere July 2012, apply somewhere September 2012 (pregnant about 6 months), rejected November 2012.

Normally, when we advise that it's because both parties are working (maybe not necessarily on EPs but a mixture of passes). Therefore both are qualified to apply (but occasionally one may not have been on the requisite pass for, say two years), then they should both apply as a family unit. However, if only one is working, then the spouse doesn't have a sponsor, nor are they working (where a sponsor is the employer or not - but still working). See the Eligibility link at ICA.
