donation, endowment plan, saving locked up in Singapore - I dont think these will add any points to the application.unicorn1991 wrote: ↑Fri, 22 Jan 2021 4:20 pmHi All. Please help me to access our family chance for PR (i have removed the post in other thread)
This is our 3rd application, I am the main sponsor. The 1st I apply right after university alone, waiting for 1 year and then rejected. The 2nd I apply with my husband, he is the main sponsor, rejected.

Wondering on our chances?
First application did on my own and online, but i'm hearing that there are ways to upload a cover letter, volunteering, endorsement letters / proof etc. Is that true?

Re: PR approval chance in 2020
Appreciate the candid response. I'm in no hurry nor desperate to get PR but it is part of the med-long term plan if it becomes possible. Hence, I would rather work on increasing our chances before applying. My role does involve creating jobs for Singaporeans and that will likely ramp up over the next few years and maybe with that and a longer stay here (and family started), the time will be right to go for it will come.singaporeflyer wrote: ↑Fri, 22 Jan 2021 3:16 pmOnly thing is for you to stay longer and hope they approve you later.

Honest answer on whether I would give up my citizenship - maybe. The reason I want PR is to settle here for good and citizenship would make sense. The longer I am here, the less I have to give up by losing my citizenship.
The way I see it is that this is where our family belongs, not in the UK.
Thanks again

Re: PR approval chance in 2020
Hi there,
I was hoping to check on the chances of my Vietnamese girlfriend obtaining a PR status (under spouse scheme), who's now based in Vietnam. We're separated by Covid-19 and now we're looking to get married (assuming LTVP all approved) and move her to Singapore.
My Profile:
Job: International Bank (Front-office)
Age: 32
Nationality: Singaporean
Length of stay in Singapore: Since birth
Working in Singapore: Since graduation
Annual salary: S$75k+
Occupation: Banking & Financial Services
Education: Bachelor's Degree in Business from NTU Singapore
She was here for her studies and lived in Singapore for a good 5 years, graduated from Kaplan in Singapore with a Bachelor's Degree in Hospitality. Currently, she's working in admissions for a pre-school in Vietnam.
Any feedback helps! Thank you.

Re: PR approval chance in 2020
Once you actually get married and she is here on a LTVP/LTVP+ for around 2 years, then she can apply for PR using the Family Ties scheme, but before ANY timeline can be determined, you need to ROM first.

Re: PR approval chance in 2020
You have a seemingly ubiquitous profile of a typical Indian pmet. The answer is, your chances are as good as any other Indian expat, ie sub 5%.Susisa wrote: ↑Sun, 24 Jan 2021 9:18 pmHi All,

Re: PR approval chance in 2020
If I might add, at present, i believe there’s probably an overwhelming list of applicants from India and the Philippines vis a vis other nationalities and that itself is a detriment to your chances.
* By that, the number of Filipino applicants wouldn’t affect yours. But the number of Indian applicants do.
