Can I please get your valuable advice from other experts as well whether I can apply PR for my spouse and daughter with the above profile this month. Thanks in advance.
Hi SF,
Do you still suggest me to wait till this year-end. Thanks.
Being blunt, if you had applied for PR now, you probably wouldn't have got it, given your profile (low basic salary and ethnicity). This may be what weighs on your current application.humanity wrote: ↑Mon, 07 Sep 2020 5:48 pmHi,humanity wrote: ↑Tue, 07 Jul 2020 10:40 amThanks SF for your feedback.

I would wait until late 2021 or even early 2022 for reapplying.
Your basic salary is quite low, which stands against you. Your wife doesn't work and you have a daughter. So the balance of what you put into Singapore and what you and your family potentially take out, is in your favour, not in the country's.
You should get your wife to work so that as a family unit your family pay is higher.
Also, your child would be eligible for primary school in a couple of years. I have a sneaky suspicion the gahmen is trying to slow the numbers of PRs with kids who could get into local primary schools (given complaints about PRs in local schools).
Processing may take 6 months to 1 year.ZZZZr wrote: ↑Tue, 08 Sep 2020 4:48 pmHi Friends,
I have applied PR alone via e-PR on ICA website in September 2020.
considering the virus situation, what is the processing time for the PR application and what are the chances of getting PR ?
This is my first attempt.

Thanks a lot! A long time to wait....singaporeflyer wrote: ↑Tue, 08 Sep 2020 4:59 pm

Chance will be slightly low because of your short stay in SG
Apart from Career path there are not many things that you could change. There may be other suggestions like getting married, etc which I would not recommend just for getting PRZZZZr wrote: ↑Tue, 08 Sep 2020 5:11 pmThanks a lot! A long time to wait....singaporeflyer wrote: ↑Tue, 08 Sep 2020 4:59 pm

Is the only thing I can do is improving my salaries? What other criteria that may help with PR application?
Many thanks![]()
I think you might stand a reasonable chance given your length of stay in Singapore. Yes your ethnicity is not a positive, but then I suspect there will be a number of expats leaving in the coming year as jobs are switched out to locals.kjc123 wrote: ↑Thu, 10 Sep 2020 7:14 pmGood evening, have been scrolling through all the posts so thought I would ask about our chances of becoming PR even though it seems our ethnicity/nationalities are against us and that we have 2 daughters.
