Re: Citizenship application status still pending
Hi all,
I’ve read through the thread but I’ve been having questions in my head that maybe you guys can advice on.
A little background story:
My family of 7 has been PR for 13 years, except my little sister who is born here in SG but not PR, and have applied for SC on 5 Dec 2017 - so far no results yet.
But when we applied together as a family, we were told that I had to do an individual application from them as I was already 21 years old.
My question is: I’m getting married on April 2019, I want to know if me getting married will affect my SC application?

If you have applied on your own for SC, your marriage won't affect your application. But make sure to update ICA after the marriage is complete.LittleMsCurious wrote:Hi all,

Re: Citizenship application status still pending
Hi, is my understanding of the current process correct? Submit application online and then wait?
Went through the thread and some people mentioned about getting appointments... However I can't seem to figure out where or how to make the appt.. Any advice will be greatly appreciated thanks!

Re: Citizenship application status still pending
if I remember correctly, upon successfully submitting your application online, you will be prompted to select the appointment date to submit & verify your supporting documents. You might have missed that last step.macaronjunkie wrote:Hi, is my understanding of the current process correct? Submit application online and then wait?

You should now log in to ICA website using your Singpass and check status of your application; it might then refer you to select your appointment date. Lastly, if in doubt, pick up the phone and call ICA and speak to the officer.

Re: Citizenship application status still pending
Just checked my status today and it says “rejected” after 11 months. Hmm I thought you are supposed to get an email from ICA when a decision has been made?
Question: I’m currently on notice with my current firm and I’m expecting a a salary increment of about 20% in my new job. Based on that, should I appeal?
My new job will start sometime in April

Re: Citizenship application status still pending
Salary is just one of the many variables taken into consideration during your application but guess there's no harm in appealing.mystic_river wrote:Just checked my status today and it says “rejected” after 11 months.

Re: Citizenship application status still pending
Quite honestly, salary is the only thing going for me. I have been a PR since 2005 (when I was 17) so I doubt applying again “after a few years” is gonna make a diff.Bakulii wrote:Salary is just one of the many variables taken into consideration during your application but guess there's no harm in appealing.mystic_river wrote:Just checked my status today and it says “rejected” after 11 months.

Should I appeal now and submit my new employment letter in April when I start my new job or submit the appeal together my new employment letter around mid April?

Re: Citizenship application status still pending
Your new job employment letter wont count much as it is not a proven track record. It is something new that you are starting. They would like to see you for atleast a year+ in the new job for considering that to be stable. Looks like you are really in a rush.mystic_river wrote:Quite honestly, salary is the only thing going for me.

Is your 11 months period counted from from date of submission of online application or submission of hard copy documents?
All the best for your appeal process!

So for those concerned, you don't have to keep checking your mailbox. Just check your email instead.

Re: Citizenship application status still pending
Hi all,
Can I ask about my chances of getting SC? Submitted documents in November 2018, status is still pending now.
My profile:
Race Chinese
Degree from NUS, current pay about 4.5K
PR approved in early 2017
Married in 2018, Husband is SC by birth
Gave birth to first son in 2018, son is SC (followed the father citizenship)
I applied for SC myself not under my husband's sponsorship.
Thank you!!!

chance is low as you did not apply under husband's sponsorship. Why didnt you do that?
How long are you in SG? Where are you from?
Wait for a year or more and apply under husband's sponsorship. It will be easy.
