Hi All,

Some great inputs in this thread.
Looking for some input on the probability of my 4th application:

Age : 34
Race : Indian
Gender : Male
Marital Status : Married.
Kids: No
Religion : Sikh
Education : Bachelors of Technology
Spouse Education: Bachelors of Technology
Industry: Banking
Current Field of Work : Data Management (role spans between business and IT)
Total work experience: 11+ years
Length of stay : 6 years +
Salary : 135k+
Spouse salary:106k+
Pass : Both on EP

We applied our first PR application in 2018 (nearly after 4 years of working here), rejected in exact 6months time. 2nd and 3rd applications applied 6 months after the rejection letter of 1st and 2nd application respectively.

My wife is planning to pursue her masters from NUS. Would that help in our application? in case it helps, Should we wait until she starts her Masters?

Would be grateful to hear your thoughts.

Thank you

Undergrad from Singapore’s public universities certainly hold more weight.

Back in the day, 2000s, graduates get automatic PR ipa upon graduation, and some gets invited to apply for citizenships after 1 yr of PR. That’s back in the day. For undergrads.
But they’re also bonded to work in sg for 3 years minimum.

Not sure abt postgrads, back then, but I’d assume no. Correct me if I am wrong.

I did receive invitation letter during my postgrad study at NTU (2009): to apply PR once completed the study and get employed.

I applied, and got rejected.

Sad to hear.

In any case the letter to undergrads weren’t an invitation to apply back then I believe.

It was an outright in principle approval.

Actually, it was what used to be referred to as a LPR (Landed Permanent Resident), It was a pre-approved IPA but was only issued after acquiring a job. At that point the 3 year-bond came into effect. It was also available for foreign graduates applying from their home countries with fresh degrees. I know. I hired several of them from Indonesia back in 2004. All they needed was a job offer (not even related to their degree) for the LPR to kick in. The biggest difference was that the local foreign graduates had to have the 3 year bond (to offset the subsidy they were given to do there schooling in a local tertiary institution while the Foreign graduate had no bond, but were required only to obtain a letter of offer and acceptance from an employer.

Thanks, Everyone. these inputs do clarify some of my queries. Do you think my application still makes a case?

Till she finishes her masters, the masters wont add any value/points to the application. Try improving in career, salary, etc and then reapply. Else, the outcome may be the same.

My wife and daughter residing at Johor Bahru. She is a housewife, taking part time MSc in Engineering at UTM Skudai.

Going back home only during my offdays. My job requires me to stay inside SG, so its easier for my employer to activate me when needed.
