Re: PR approval probability 2020
With unemployment rising, companies closing, there are going to be lots of people out of jobs. A lot of those are going to be Citizens & PRs. A lot of EP/S pass IT personnel who are currently on WFH Status are liable to find them being sent home and outsourced. If they can work from home here then they can also work from home in their home country. There is going to be a lot of resident manpower looking for work. Why bring in additional people when there are too many at the moment and it's going to get worse.

Re: PR approval probability 2020
If this is the case. Then would there be a preference for PR applicants who are self employed?
Re: PR approval probability 2020
Thanks for your comments. Not in a rush though. Trying to think through it logically in order to get my timing right for the first application.singaporeflyer wrote: ↑Wed, 03 Jun 2020 11:54 pmI personally dont think that in the current climate, the overall quota is going to be 31-32K anymore. Also, they look at each application individually. If a applicant is short of residency requirements, he is short. The availability of quota will not increase his chances, etc. Looks you are in a rush. Why? If you have long term plans to reside in Singapore, why not wait and give a good FIRST attempt after 5 years. if you apply now and the application gets rejected after 1 year and if you immediately apply after 1 year rejection, that is not going to change much on the next outcome too.ritesh_1 wrote: ↑Wed, 03 Jun 2020 11:42 pmThanks a lot SF!singaporeflyer wrote: ↑Wed, 03 Jun 2020 11:20 pm
Dont worry about cover letter, recommendations, voluntary work for now. They are not going to help for now.
You can apply now. You may have a 40% chance as you work in a niche technology domain in IT. If in case you are rejected, reapply after you complete 5 years of total stay and work in SG.
But if you ask me, WAIT for the current climate and economy to get better, complete 5 years in SG and then apply. Your chance will be higher then.
It is good to know that those additional documents are not as important as the PR application agencies make them sound. And we will take a call after a few months anyway once the economy starts recovering. Will also give a serious thought on your advice to wait till 5 years.
But I was just wondering wouldn't the current crisis also mean a fall in the number of PR applications? If the overall quota for the year is still the same (~31K-32K), wouldn't that mean higher chances of approval?

Re: PR approval probability 2020
Hello i'm new here, my husband is submit PR application on 2019 October with single marital status, we got married on 2019 December and his PR has been Approved. Now he only need to do check up and interview for activate his PR. The problem is he cant amend his marital status, can he apply me PR as his spouse after he finished his PR with single marital status? Or he can update this information on the day of interview by bringing our marriage certificate? Or what should we do? Thankyou

Re: PR approval probability 2020
Email ICA and inform that on the day of completing formalities, he will submit the marriage details with the certificate. He has to submit a new separate application for your PR. Since you are newly married, the chances of getting PR for you is very very low till you complete 2 years of marriage.angelsoetanto wrote: ↑Fri, 05 Jun 2020 1:47 pmHello i'm new here, my husband is submit PR application on 2019 October with single marital status, we got married on 2019 December and his PR has been Approved.

Re: PR approval probability 2020
You should apply for LTVP as soon as he receives his PR. After 2 years of marriage, then apply for PR. Before then will just be an exercise in frustration. You should be married and in Singapore for 2 years before applying for PR.

Re: PR approval probability 2020
Got it, can i know how long i can stay in Singapore if i got my LTVP? If i decide to applying for LTVP, does my husband need to email ICA that on the day of completing formalities he will bring marriage certificate and my application for LTVP?sundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Fri, 05 Jun 2020 2:23 pmYou should apply for LTVP as soon as he receives his PR.

Re: PR approval probability 2020
He should apply for your LTVP as soon as possible for your LTVP. Hopefully, with the marriage certificate and his PR you will not be required to be in Singapore first. (Normally you should be here as I think the disembarkation number is required on the application. He will have to check with them on that as you appear to be from M'sia. Normally LTVP are issued for 12 months and are renewable.

Re: PR approval probability 2020
Yeah, you had me puzzled as I know your name is Indonesian so I had to see where you were posting from. (I worked in Indonesia for 12 years so pretty familiar with names). Explains it all, but still procedures remain the same. Good Luck.
