[sundaymorningstaple]

Based on your ethnicity, virtually nil.

Hi everyone,

thought of putting our metadata in the mix to calculate our chances.

Main applicant:
Male 42years old
Nationality: Japanese
Ethnicity: japanese
Work: Data feeds sales specialist in fintech firm
Education: university of Tokyo, economics
Duration: 3 years in SG.
Work experience: 12y +
Base salary: 110K
Pass: EP, recently renewed to 3 year from 1 year then before that 2 year
Tax filing: 3 years


Spouse(me)
Female 36y
Nationality: Norwegian
Ethnicity: white
Work: Data analyst lead at consulting firm
Duration: 2 years 10 months in SG
work experience: 7y +
Education: BA economics in UK
Base salary: 96k from 2019, 75k before
Pass: EP 3 year from 2019, before that worked under DP
Tax filing: 3 times, but 1st time very little
Others: volunteer as python coding teacher for Singapore kids from time to time but then I see volunteering does not matter, but I still like doing it.

Donates to cancer patients


One daughter 4y
Japanese national

Husband Applied in Oct 2018 for the whole family, got rejected, husband too naive

Then reapplied again 6 month Oct 2019 later through agent telling him he promised him a spot ( I specifically told him to wait, but husband believed agent) got rejected in August 2020.

I am planning to buy a private property next year to settle then apply again, but believe my husband's eagerness to settle here may have ruined our chances so needed to know.

We love it here much more cause it is easier to raise our child in mixed culture and no one looks at us funny( in Japan they stare, too homogenous lol) so would really like to continue to contribute.

I do plan to buy private property without husband as I benefit from not paying adbs as Norwegian citizen to demonstrate settling in one place.
I myself have studied and worked in 7 countries over a course of 17 years, so perhaps my profile could be considered "flight risk"?

We are in the others section, so I know our chances are slim, but appreciate if you could you help us calculating our chances and would you think that I should be main applicant in the next round after waiting perhaps 2years?

Thank you guys!

Hi everyone,
I am new here. I’d like to ask for your thoughts on our chance of PR application as a married couple.

Husband
— Age: 28
— Nationality: Vietnamese
— Religion: None
— Education: Bachelor degree and PhD of Science in Singapore public uni
— Work: Machine learning engineer for local e-commerce company
— Year of exp: 1 year (change job once)
— Year of stay in SG: 8 years, got 1 year in Germany due to his research in 2018 but still kept his Student Pass during that time
— Salary: 96k
— Pass: EP
— Tax filling: 1 when changed job

Wife(me)
— Age: 28
— Nationality: Vietnamese
— Religion: None
— Education: Bachelor degree of Engineering in Singapore public uni
— Work: Software Engineer for a bank
— Year of exp: 5 years ( change job twice)
— Year of stay in SG: 9 years
— Salary: 96k
— Pass: EP
— Tax filling: 4

We are married for more than 1 year without kid yet.

We are thinking of applying with my husband as main applicant because of his PhD. Or not sure if my longer working experience will be better or not?
Also, my working history with every 2 years of job change, will it be a red flag?

Would love to hear your opinions.
Thanks a lot

low chance except for his PHD from local uni, which MAY seem to make it a bit positive.

Thank you for your answer. But his PhD and his current work are not the same fields, should we wait for 1-2 years to apply? He has been working for 1 year now and in the current company for 9 months. I saw somewhere in the forum someone said that a person should work in the same company for at least 12 or 18 months to have a better chance. Is it correct?

You are classified as “Others”
Not impossible, just need a lot more effort.

My Korean friend + family got their approvals after 4-5 tries.

It will get harder this year, surely.

But take note, a recession will lead to scores of people leaving the country. PRs included.

I am of the opinion that in 2-3 years, assuming you are still in this country, it will be easier to obtain during the recovery phase.

Reason: there’s gap of PRs to plug back.

Caveat: Hugely dependent on the political situation. The online mob has a loud voice.
Deafening at times.

No

Based on what you have said, it is going to be tough for your PR application to be approved.

Chaotic situation for the family, relocating back to rural home town will deprive good education that children currently receive from IP secondary and primary school in Singapore.
Can shed more light on pros and cons of the profile, what to improve? Thank You in advance.

Low chance. Basically you have already shown ICA/MOM you are a flight risk for a few dollars more.

Your circumstances suggest little to no chance. Your salary is ok, but negatives:
your (and your wife's) ethnic group
wife is not working
