So, the situation is rather confusing:
- I am a Singaporean Citizen, and my husband is French, who has been working in the USA since 2014.
- We just registered our marriage and got married in the USA earlier in Feb 2016.
- We are currently living in the USA.
- We submitted an application for a PR status (for my husband) through the Singapore Embassy in Washington in March 2016, as we were planning to have a PR status for him so that eventually we can come back to Singapore some day again to settle down. The Singapore Embassy said that it would take at least 5 months for it to be processed and for ICA to come back with an approval or rejection.
- However, in the midst of this process, my husband was unfortunately laid off from his current job last week!
My questions are:
1. Will his unemployment status implicate his PR application which is currently "in process"? Do we need to update the Singapore Embassy about this?
2. With his unemployment, we were thinking that he should come back with me to Singapore on a SVP, after which we can immediately apply for a LTVP, so that he can start applying for jobs as well. But, we did not go through the LTVP+ assessment before our marriage registration in USA - How does this affect the eligibility and processing time for a LTVP for him?
3. As aforementioned, since we are "in process" of the PR application, are we even allowed to also apply for a LTVP for him while we wait for (hopefully) an approval of his PR?
4. I am unemployed, no children. My last employment was about 6 months ago, will my unemployment also affect the approval of the LTVP application since there is a requirement for a local sponsor?
If anyone is able to advice and share your experiences, that would really really help!!

Thank you all in advance!!
