My chance to apply for PR
Hi all,
Could you please help me assess my chance to get Singapore PR?
Me - Taiwanese, 24 yrs, came to sg from Jul 2017, now studying PhD at NUS.
My wife - SC, 23 yrs, just graduated from NUS and still finding a job.
We got married in July 2017, and I applied for PR in Nov. 2017, so it's only 4 months from the marriage. I know it's recommended that applying after 3 yrs, but still hope to try. I also submitted other somewhat achievements record but don't know it matters or not: a) having published some papers, b) studied at the University of Tokyo for 1 year, c) be good at Mandarin, English and Japanese
Any advice?
Thank you.

Re: My chance to apply for PR
Yeah I do know I had better apply after graduation, but it takes 4-5 years to graduate... I just felt since I am qualified to apply for PR (supported by my SC wife), I just tried it. Also I heard that government just started to let students apply for PR, while it's not my case, but it's somewhat telling students have chance to get PR?singaporeflyer wrote:Too early.

If you read carefully, they want students who have passed one of the local national level exams.coldman519 wrote:Yeah I do know I had better apply after graduation, but it takes 4-5 years to graduate...

Did you apply for PR under the PTS Scheme? Or via your Spouse Sponsorship?
Even for spouse sponsorship, they look at the stability of the marriage. If it has been just a few months, it will not be enough for PR

Re: My chance to apply for PR
I applied via spouse sponsorship. Yeah, so maybe what I can do now is just pray and if finally rejected, wait for 1-3 years then apply again? Thanks!singaporeflyer wrote: If you read carefully, they want students who have passed one of the local national level exams.
