Disagree, gently
Having the paper proof, is sufficient grounds to appeal
From having seen such cases

Another suggestion I need, should I wait for my Income tax notice of assessment which will come sometime in June? This also I can include in my appeal letter.

First thing, appeal has to be done within 3 months from the date of rejection. Dont worry about the IRAS tax assessment. You would have already given consent to ICA to get information from IRAS and they will do that when needed.

It's some weighted pass/fail qualification. The fact that he is this or that race and has daughters doesn't mean he has no chance. He just may need to "compensate" for the negative points with some stronger positive points, the longer stay is one of them.
I didn't say he has no chance in future. I just said this could be the main reason of his three rejections.

Yesterday I visited some pr consultancy firm (free consultation

). They said you should have some recommendation letters from your colleagues and you should do some donation/charity etc. Is it true? How recommendation from colleagues can increase chances? They suggested that 10$ every month based on their suggested Govt. recognised charity organisation which they will tell me if I take their services. And they will reapply after 5/6 months. I had a question if I would do some charity to these organisations, ICA would easily catch that I would have started this kind charity only to get PR. How charity can increase chances?

They have given you misleading information
1. Recommendation from Colleagues wont improve chances at all. If it does, anyone can get recommendation from their SG Colleagues.
2.10$ for few months wont help at all. Example if you have donated 100-200 dollars for a period of say 5 years, then it shows you are consistent in contributing.. This alone wont increase the chance. ICA will easily know that you are doing this just to get PR.
Why didnt you ask all these doubts to the consultancy itself?
The consultancy just wants you to sign up for their service. Nothing else.

But... isn't it what most Indian applicants do? Charities, community services, buying
property....
(It should actually be $6 a month - $10 indicates some possible gambling problems with poor risk management skills, while $2 lack of empathy and acute instrumental approach).

1. Probably you haven't been staying here for enough long time;
2. Your industry might not be the one that EDB wants to keep in the long term (my hubby said

);
3. Just keep trying and eventually you will get it. By looking at the official statistic from ICA, actually every year quite considerable Indians get SPR approved every year;

Where can I see the official statistics from ICA on PR approval? I have been searching and I found the data stopped from 2012 onwards.

Try I may, I don't see the definition of ideal non Chinese candidate !
PS, I re-read the statistic page. Exactly post 2010 Election, the tide had turned.

Will totally make no difference to the application. Forget about making it strong with this. Looks like you are too desperate for the PR.
Also what is premier to you, may not be premier for ICA.

Does ICA consider IIT a premier institute?
