How long have you both been married when you applied?renaldy wrote:Hi all,
I have just received the PR application rejection letter for my wife, feeling very devastated now and just need some kind souls here to shed some light on what we should do for the time being.

We submitted her PR application on 1 Dec 2016, and basically in the rejection letter, it is written as such:
Nevertheless, your wife can continue to reside here on her valid long term visit pass.
Once again, really need some opinions here. Moving forward what should we do; how to increase our chances etc.
Thank you so much in advance

You applied too soon. Apply again when you have child together, born here and not registered as a Philipino.renaldy wrote:around 9 monthsjamie9vardy wrote:How long have you both been married when you applied?renaldy wrote:Hi all,

Ditto. Agreed with SF.singaporeflyer wrote: - Show improvement in Salary of both of you
- Apply after 2-3 years of marriage. They are enforcing this for citizens, then why not for PR's?
thats some interesting piece of info, thanks for sharing!jamie9vardy wrote:Ditto. Agreed with SF.singaporeflyer wrote: - Show improvement in Salary of both of you

You applied too soon. The folks at ICA wants to make sure that it's not a marriage of convenience. For spouse sponsored SC route, the minimum length of marriage is clearly spelled out as 2 years.
Financial status is also one of the key considerations. It's from the horses mouth directly

What is her pass now ?renaldy wrote:Thanks guys for the advice, I'm actually pretty worried as I've read in other forums that "your wife can continue to reside here on her valid long term valid pass" means that there will be no chance or whatsoever in the future at all. It got me scared

What made you jump to PR instead of LTVP ?
and what's the urgency to get PR ? That's a serious question.renaldy wrote:

well.. PR comes with CPF, and we both feel it is better for retirement if she gets CPF as early as possible. But most importantly we want to BTO, for example the latest project is Yishun and the price was pretty good, but we were unable to BTO because she's holding onto LTVP.ecureilx wrote:and what's the urgency to get PR ?

If you been in any MPS, you will know, the folks get a bit suspicious when newly married ask for PR. In fact, if residency is the need, LTVP+ is good. And as a citizen, you have no urgency to get her to PR, unless she is pushing for PR.
As said, wait 3 years before applying, to be on the safe side.
This is my favourite part of Singapore culture .... whether for marriage or now a change in status , just so you can apply for a place to live, folk doing stuff not because of what they may actually want but because the system force them to do.renaldy wrote: But most importantly we want to BTO

fully agree with your sentiment, I can understand that there were many "marriage of convenience" cases, but people that are legit couples should not be affected because of this. If the world was a simpler place, marrying a foreign spouse should automatically grant her a PR given the benefit of doubt. i'm "lucky" enough that i was able to get LTVP for my wife, and i'm pretty sure beyond me there are a lot of sad cases that result in breakup just because the system doesnt permit it (no LTVP or whatsoever). this isn't right at all.Barnsley wrote:This is my favourite part of Singapore culture .... whether for marriage or now a change in status , just so you can apply for a place to live, folk doing stuff not because of what they may actually want but because the system force them to do.renaldy wrote: But most importantly we want to BTO

What a beautiful start to a relationship/marriage.
Why did the Government create such a system where things have to be forced on you by the Government instead of wanted by individual. That surely means that the system isn't working.
In this case , the guy is a citizen , why restrict him if he is married already??
