Hi,
I am a US citizen, moved to Singapore with my two chindren 1 year ago. I wm a single parent and my kids are between 7-14. I dont have any family or friend in Singapore. My monthly salary is around 16k. I am thinking about applying for PR along with my kids.
What are my chances of getting approved? Should I wait before aplying or do I even have to wait? Should I include my parents in the application also? They live with me a lot but are not US citizens. Would they bring my exspouse into the process since my children are minor and only one parent is applying.
Thanks fot any suggestions.

Re: US citizen applying for Singapore PR
Chances are between 0% and 100% but if you don't apply then it will definitely be nil. How many tax NOA do you have? You'll need to provide tax NOA for the last 3 years if you decide to apply.Adudiya wrote:Hi,

You cannot sponsor/include your parents in your PR application.
Are you a naturalized U.S. citizen? And if you don't mind me asking, what's your ethnicity?

Re: US citizen applying for Singapore PR
One year will not be enough time to have lived in Singapore.
You don't say whether you are a naturalized or natural born US Citizen. Either way, unless you've got something really special that Singapore wants, you are in for tough sledding. PR is a stepping stone to citizenship. The majority of US citizens are reluctant to take that final step of relinquishing US citizenship. OTOH, if you are ethnic Chinese your chances go up. If you are female of child bearing age, your chances go up. If at least one of your children is male and your are applying for all, your chances go up.
But, you need to live in Singapore longer.

Re: US citizen applying for Singapore PR
It's purely a statistics question based on race, age, child bearing capability and as SMS pointed out country of origin.
IF you're a caucasian/AA or other non Chinese American it will be very low. Only a few hundred of those get PR every year from what I have deduced (from reverse engineering the govt' demographics stats book that comes out annually).

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!

There is also some anecdotal evidence that people holding managerial positions with relatively high salary may not be the right flavor.

- what field/industry are you in and what is your position?
- what type of degrees do you have?
- do you own any property here?
On tax returns, I know of family applicants that applied in the last 2 years, with only 1 tax return during application time and were provided a PR once their 2nd tax return was completed. Granted, they were a blended Chinese/"other" ethnicity, but US naturalized citizens. One was a high income earner (14k+), and the other fluent in Chinese with a child in neighborhood local school.
