From your description I would be quite surprised if your wife's LTVP is not approved. Please keep us posted.
As SMS suggests, photocopies are ok for the application, but for the meeting at ICA, the issuance and 'Completion of formalities' you need the originals. In my personal experience [LTVP], they did ask for them.Lostsoul wrote:dear all, can I check if the photocopy of her edu certs and all work?
Her originals are not in SG!

Nobody stays at her old home now. All shifted to HK...JR8 wrote:Isn't she able to get someone from her home to post them to her?
Will be trying that route, just that one of her diplomas that I listed is in PRC. Not sure if they are responsible to such requests. Hence the concern..JR8 wrote:Or apply to the awarding institutions to have them re-issued to her at your SGn address? Surely?
Not saying that, just saying that it may take a long time for them to mail over a copy. Responsible should not be the word in my previous reply, responsive is.JR8 wrote:Start by trying to get copies of the highest qualification and work downwards as might be required. The highest one, or ones if they are of the same level, are definitely the most important. In fact ISTR that ICA only ask for the highest one. i.e. They do not wish to receive copies of every single edu certificate one might have even gained.
It would seem odd if the PRC diploma cannot be re-certificated, as effectively that would suggest if you ever lose the paper cert then you lose the entire qualification itself. Doesn't make sense does it? And if that were the case then ICA would surely have previously encountered this issue with other applicants.
It used to be that when you applied for an LTVP, then ICA automatically granted an SVP extension. The duration of that auto-extension was per what they thought required/appropriate for your application to be considered, you advised of the outcome, and if successful for you to complete formalities ie issuance. You used to only separately have to apply for another additional SVP extension, i.e. beyond ICAs original auto-extension, if you were physically unable to book an appointment for issuance in time. [This happened to me once]. Once the LTVP application was lodged, additional required SVP extensions were granted free by ICA until they'd reached a decision and you could attend to complete formalities.Lostsoul wrote:An update - I applied for both LTVP and SVP extension.
Her SVP was previously valid till 22nd May, ICA just emailed to make payment for extension till 22nd June. LTVP still receiving attention, FIN number now reflected.
Does this make the application slightly more optimistic?
