I imagine you would not be successful.

I'll address the factor that you probably imagine is the strongest in your favour - your SG partner. The fact you are not married would be a red flag. To even be in with a chance, you would need to be married for at least 2 years.

Now we have addressed that. You are essentially submitting on your own (your partner provides no help)
Let's look at the rest of your qualifications. Remember you need to look at your qualifications vs your cohort which is early 30s caucasians. Those are the ones you are competing again
In that case your salary is low. Like we've observed before, there are many well paid expats from Western countries here. A bog standard VP at a bank is probably on around 10-15k per month.
Generalising here but HR is not a highly valued job as determined by the Singapore government, unless you happen to be supporting some fancy smancy high tech, bio science etc etc

Go ahead and apply though. What harm is there? The worst that could happen is they say no?
Alternatively, you could settle down with your SYT and apply as the spouse of a SC...

You can apply for PR. No reason why you can't.

But I would say your chances are low.

Your ethnicity is against you. Your industry is against you. Your salary is low. Your wife isn't working.

I dont think his salary is low for his age.

Your child is a boy or girl? Have they been included on the application?
What industry is your husband in? How long has he been in Singapore? How long have you been married?

I would say you are on the lower side of the odds.
Your ethnicity is against you and if you are the main PR applicant, and decide to have another baby, you will go off work and not contribute to the Singapore economy ...

Hi Thanks for your response. Its a boy, Husband is in Supply Chain in FMCG.

[ashravrulz]
