Is it one year since you relocate and work here or one year since you applied your pr?

Application was submitted in May-2015 while we were still in HK, and today is exactly one year since the application date.
Then we relocated to SG and I started to work here since end of Jun-2015.

Maybe they thinking not much "permanence" shown at the minute so they taking their time.
What's the rush?
Life is short, paddle harder!!

Agree that no particular rush, just for the 2 reasons below.
1. Current lease will end at Jun-2017, so want to buy a resale HDB and move into it before the lease expires.
2. Getting a PR will allow for more flexibility in career options.

Well since you're married to a Singaporean, i suppose you can try LTVP+? no need of those working passes with mountain of requirements, levies, and quotas

Your household can already do that per the Non-Citizen Spouse Scheme.

Walk in to EPSC and explain your circumstances. They will likely let you walk in, but you will wait for a long time before being seen.
