PR Application

[NoTeva]

Have applied Singapore PR since 11 March 2018 with status "Pending" until today. Recently got my work pass renewed but downgrade to WP from S Pass. Will this affect my application?

Hopefully there is. I know WP is not eligible to apply.

Hi guys,

I'm an Indian Muslim married to a local in Singapore. its been 1 year since we got married.
I got my Long-term approved after 4months of waiting time. Once i received the long-term, my wife sponsored and applied a PR for me through ePR in May 2018. Its been 8 months already and still the status is pending.

Wife is working as an Admin with 2k per month.

Male, Indian, Civil Engineer, Age-26, Graduated with B.E, M.BA in India and doing my M.Sc in NTU. Salary is 70k per anum.
Working in Singapore since 2014.

This PR thing is holding us from buying an HDB. since I'm a foreigner, we are not able to get even 50% of the housing loan.

Even we met MP yesterday to expedite the PR process with ICA.

please advice my chance of approval.

Chance is very low
1. Not married for long or do not have a child yet
2. Since spouse is sponsoring your application, she has to have a higher salary. 2K might not be enough.

Hi, I am facing the same issue. Does meeting the MP helps? What can they do?

[sundaymorningstaple]

They can write a letter (maybe - it's usually for PR's trying for SGC) to ICA. ICA will accept the letter, read it and then file it in your file. They may write a quick note acknowledging receipt of same to the MP and that will be about the size and extent of it. I don't know of ONE that has ever accomplished anything by writing to their MP.

Singapore is pretty much a meritocratic society. ICA isn’t gonna give a rat’s ass even if they see your application accompanied with a letter from your MP.

I know this gets asked around here a lot because this works elsewhere (particularly South Asia. They even have a word for it and it’s called sifarish). But this isn’t gonna fly here.

You can still try though. There isn’t anything stopping you.
