Re: Student Pass rejected
That's what I did, I also sent to them a letter of support of my supervisor. I don't know how much time it will take but my semester will start on the 9th of January. I probably won't get it in time

Re: Student Pass rejected
Well, there are 2 things. At first the NTU had not my official certificate of Master's degree, I gave them a provisional one because I didn't get it yet.
The second reason is I think my nationality because a student from Maghreb didn't go to Singapore usually so maybe it's a little bit suspicious.

Re: Student Pass rejected
Any student activities that the Singapore Government might be alarmed about? I.e. membership of radical political or religious organisations?
Re: Student Pass rejected
Nothing I'm not a member of any organisation this is why I can't understand their rejection, but maybe they are worried about that
Re: Student Pass rejected
Anyway I have to wait for the decision of ICA, otherwise I have to report my application for the University to August !
It's so sad

Re: Student Pass rejected
I am a little surprised at this.
I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.
You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or http://www.ISS.edu
Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!

Re: Student Pass rejected
I received an email from ICA saying that they will look into my appeal, it will take 4-6 weeks to process ! it means that there is any chance to begin my PhD this semester, i'm desperate
Re: Student Pass rejected
If you don't need to be in class see if you can begin the work remotely with your advisor etc.

Re: Student Pass rejected
Really sorry to hear this. I hope it works out for you.
But working remotely does not sound good. Most PhD students anyways do courses in the first year or so . They really work with supervisors later on.
My advice will be: Request NTU to defer admission by 1 semester. If your case is approved, join in July.
Meanwhile, work on Plan B. If you can get PhD offer from NTU, perhaps you can get something in Europe also.
