Hi,

This is my first time on this forum. I figured out this a nice forum to seek advise on my PR chances.

Below is my profile.
Nationality: Indian, 28yrs
Education:Engineering+MBA(Singapore)
Household annual income(wife working too): 155K SGD : 145K(fixed) + 10K(variable)
I'm working(on E-Pass) in a US MNC in the manufacturing industry. Wife is working in IT(on S-Pass).
Been in Singapore since 2013 June(for my MBA), working since August 2014

Can anyone here share his/her views on what are my chances at this point and when could be the right time to apply ?

Appreciate your time. Thanks in advance.

You expect rejection in 3 months

Did you contact ICA for status update? Mine pending for almost 6 month. Plan to call up ICA end of the month to find out.

Keep hanging tough! One never can tell. We've seen and I'm sure you read the posts with waiting going to 18~21 months and then being approved and/or rejected. Wait is what it is. Wait. It's not an indication one way or the other. Just must have patience and a plan B if necessary.

Dear Darx84, Please share the outcome after contacting ICA. Thank You

Lay you two to one odds that the outcome will be "pending" with no other info available. Normally that is what everybody gets when contacting ICA. As has been said here many times. How long is a piece of string?

In fact a couple of my new colleagues were discussing about PR and they were wondering why it is estimated to take so long, like about a year or more.

I reminded them the earliest appointment date too is like more than 6 months away, and both went 'damn, Singapore sucks. We better go to Australia .. '

No comments.

wow that's quite a hell of waiting.

congrats by the way!

Actually it's not too long at all. what with a lot taking between 18 & 24 months. 12 months is a skate in the park, especially if successful.

actually, he did mention about the medishield cpf? is that actually a new requirement? never heard of PR Approval requiring medishield before

[sundaymorningstaple]

While related, PR is not contingent on Medishield that I'm aware of.

though in the website states it is required to enrol one month after attaining PR, which made me curious as for why marubozu did that during the completion of his IPA
