Personally, I think you have a reasonable chance as your profession is in demand, but I don't know what you do. You could be an admin and actually have nothing to do with cybersecurity but work in that industry. e.g., a little more info would be helpful. Are you a programmer, technician, infrastructure build out specialist, etc. But assuming you are hands-on, I think you have a fair chance although you might have applied too early (you should have at least 2 full years here or 3 tax assessments or more to have a optimum chance. Hopefully you applied as a family and not just for yourself.

Good Luck, though.

Did I miss something SF? I got around 8.5 years only. 12 years would have meant he finished university at 20?

In most of the cases, if the person has graduated from india with an engineering degree, he will graduate when he/she is 21 years old. Yes, finished university at 20/21.

Okay, 4 or 5 years experience would probably make your income somewhere in the ballpark I'd think. Just keep your fingers crossed.

22 or 23 actually. That's more common.

I don't think it is 23 for sure. I did complete my fulltime engineering degree when I was 21.

I'm saying this based on my friends who are Indian. Reasons vary but quite often it is because they start school a year later and have a gap between school and university to prepare for the engineering entrance exam.

Sorry to hear that. It's definitely a difficult time for people wanting to get PR, within certain categories.

Personally, I think your salary is probably too low, given that you are supporting both a wife and a son.
There is probably a calculation on your tax contribution to how much strain you and your family will place on public finances and they determine that you probably end up as a net negative.
Obviously this feels personal, but don't take it that way. It's just the way it seems the government works.
Best plan, just reapply and see what happens. Remember do not leave your son off the application form. Confirm will be rejected.

Good luck!

Improve in Career, Salary,etc. Apply after 5-6 years of stay in SG. Else, it is going to be tough. Sorry to say this.
