All the data you could possibly deduce from the questions you are asking will not give you any assumptions whatsoever. After moderating this board for 14 years and seeing literally '000's of applicants both successful and unsuccessful with credentials from the same schools and/or similar work histories, etc., etc. If there is one thing we have learned here is that the ICA and the MOM hold their cards very close to their collective chests and all the profiles cannot even begin to show you any likelihood of what your chances are.
The only trends that can be seen are when, like during the 2011 GE, the fact that Indians who managed to get themselves into positions of hiring authority, tended to only hire their own kind rather than judging on merit or fake credentials. This started a ruckus that eventually came to a head during the 2015 GE and the pogrom began in earnest to stop the flood of Indian Nationals.
For several years it was virtually impossible to get PR as your countrymen abused the system for so long that they aren't much trusted here to do the right thing. A lot of the rejections are for nothing more than the fact that the government is trying to reduce the demographic as it was allowed to grow disproportionately after 2000 in the quest to create an IT Hub in Singapore. Sadly, they allowed it to get out of hand and the traditional 7% of the population had grown to 9% at the direct expense of the ruling ethnic group. Therefore they decided it was time to re-adjust the demographic where they were more comfortable. Hence the pogrom against the abusers of the system.
So, all you can do is just hope. It has been relaxing a bit in the past 12 months but for all intents and purposes, it is still very hard and there is no rhyme nor reason for some of the rejections or approvals for that matter. All you get from asking these silly questions for which the answer is "How long is a piece of string" is anxiety. Anxiety isn't good for your health. So you should just file and go on about your life without worrying if it will or won't happen. Worry about it after it's approved. After all, you still have 6 months, I believe, in order to take up the offer. Or you can go to Au or Ca (but their patience is running out there as well).

Why is is so hard to get PR even when he has a family here.
Hope all is well. I'm currently in FL (USA) on R&R for a while. Leaving on Tuesday for Philadelphia for 5 days and then it's back to Singers again for another 18 months or 18 years.
