- Race is not the favoured one for a while now
- 2008 was the easiest year to obtain PR (79,000 approvals that year). Fast forward to 2017, conditions have become very much tougher, after the 2011 General Elections it’s been downhill from there
- Household income seemed to be too low in the eyes of ICA
- last but not least, your own history and long struggle to PR i.e. your father was a Singapore Citizen but did not make you one and not serving NS
Re: pr got rejected
Thanks for your reply.
My father did applied for me and my family PR. But before the outcome..he passed away. I was in k2 at that period. I can only say fated. But ica can consider my duration of stay 36 years..where I did all my education. I was in Studentpass, permit and EP. Income which i getting is what a normal diploma holder range 3k to 4k. And my family is living with me for 10 years. We can cope with the income. Not like some expats I know..who got there PR and send back the family. And NS period they bring there sons back. And got citizenship easily. I find this is v unfair.

Re: pr got rejected
Most of human feel it's fair when their PR approved, it's unfair when PR rejected.
However, I agree with jamie9vardy on point no.3.

*Father was Sporean.
*36 years residing here.
*Did my edu here
* worked and working here
I stay here more than my home country. I did volunteer for NS also. But I was rejected..since I am not a PR at that time.

Re: pr got rejected
No, I was born in india..came here at year 1983. My father was a Singaporean at that time. So 1983 till date I am here.
Re: pr got rejected
Your father is Singaporean but
1. Didn't apply Citizenship when you born in India
2. 1983 you come to Singapore, your father apply PR (didn't approve) instead of citizenship
I agree with jamie9vardy on point no.3.

Re: pr got rejected
My father did not apply citizenship for us,
As my mum was also an Indian citizen. So he applied PR for every1 of us. But he did not apply immediately.. 3 to 4 years later than he applied. illfatedly before the outcome he left us.
But now my issue is
* I am PR and working
*Spouse PR and working
*Daughter PR and schooling here
*invested in property
*son born here and living with us
Than why is my son PR rejected. Seriously I am worried about his future.

Re: pr got rejected
It's a curious case - I'd assume your son would get in eventually. Also "invest in property" is of no value for PR.
I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.
You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or http://www.ISS.edu
Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!

Re: pr got rejected
Thanks but i am not sure when eventually will it be..but i will keep on trying. But why invest in property is of no value for PR. * paying property tax, paying to TC, paying utilities, paying bank loan,* ONE WAY OR ANOTHER..it is of use to the gvt rite.PNGMK wrote:It's a curious case - I'd assume your son would get in eventually.

Re: pr got rejected
Many people have their PR rejected. They also pay expensive rent just to survive.
At least you are PR and own a house. Your son will survive with student pass or whatever.

Re: pr got rejected
Paying utilities, bank loan all private enterprise, Singapore doesn't gain anything. Property taxes, etc. Government not gaining, but you are as your property appraisals go up you are gaining net worth. Again, doesn't mean anything to the government, only means you are enriching yourself. If you sell your property who gains on the profits? You do.saha78 wrote:Thanks but i am not sure when eventually will it be..but i will keep on trying.
