PR Status pending - 20 months for dependant daughter
Hello Fellow Expats,
Applicant details - (my daughter)
Indian, Student Pass Holder, 14 years old (my daughter)
Studying in International School in Singapore since 2015
Sponsor details - (myself)
Indian, SPR since 2006 gainfully employed in Singapore in MNC, paying taxes, CPF, etc, single mother.
Permanent Custody of child with me, all documents clear.
Application for PR - (for my daughter) - to ICA applied in Feb 2018 but online status shows 'pending' for almost 20 months.
What would be the chances of getting approval, any insights?
Thanks and regards in advance.

Re: PR Status pending - 20 months for dependant daughter
Interesting one. I suspect the International School is part of the issue. I expect she will get it when a slot frees up otherwise you'd have been rejected very early on. Singapore needs young people. Do you intend to take up SC? That should be communicated as well.
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!

As you pointed out, that could be the issue.
Yes, I intend to settle in Singapore for good and apply for SC, waiting for her PR application status though...hoping for a positive reply from ICA!
Re: PR Status pending - 20 months for dependant daughter
For non-Malaysian dependent PR applicants whose parents were approved before 2009, there is a less than 50% chance of approval in my opinion. My own daughter's latest application was rejected after 14 months. My profile is Filipino, PR since 2005. Applied for SC as a family two years ago but also rejected. I have heard of approvals but not first hand.
Re: PR Status pending - 20 months for dependant daughter
My status is pending too. Applied July 2018. I was rejected in 2017 but a few changes to my profile like I had more kids ( twins boy and a girl ) , bought a commercial property etc ) and longer duration of stay ( touching 6 years now )
I too would think maybe some slots to empty out before approving some of us ( or not ) otherwise should have got a straight forward rejection some time ago.

Oh ok, thanks for the feedback! Wondering what could be the general criteria for most Indian SPR dependent approvals.bro75 wrote: ↑Thu, 07 Nov 2019 11:32 amFor non-Malaysian dependent PR applicants whose parents were approved before 2009, there is a less than 50% chance of approval in my opinion.

Still hoping for the best. Good luck to you too, regards.

Also wondering if would help by writing email to ICA or meet-and-greet local MP?
Good luck to you! regards.

If those will help, ICA and MP session will be flooded by these type of request.ArK05 wrote:Thanks for your inputs.jay1979 wrote: ↑Thu, 07 Nov 2019 12:24 pmMy status is pending too.
