PR approval chance in 2020

[TropicalExpat]

Firstly, thank you very much in taking time and share your thoughts. Do appreciate!

Agree with you on reco and cover latter but I thought it’s no harm and doesn’t take much of my time so did submit this time...not sure if it backfireS or not hehe..

Regarding some of points you raised:

University - Oxford (full time), masters degree
Talent pool - Bank’s internal talent pool managed via HR, may not mean much to external world but just shared
What changed since last app that was in oct 2017 (except one more bloke on the board) - salary increase plus a promotion (~5k/month for myself and ~5k/month for wife). Moved into a role that focus on Bank’s architecture modernisation with high tech material. Wife has done certification in Chinese language. SSB and SRS contributions by both of us over last 3 years and some other EQ/Bond investments locally.

Btw forgot to mention couple of points in earlier post
- own a house here too. Essentially pretty much committed for Long term.
- recently ICA has requested for some documents for there assessment.
- just turn 40 few days back but again 40 or 41 pretty same hehe

Would love to seek experts views and some guidance.

You didn't mention if you added your first son to the original application.

Oops sorry forgot. Yes I did include my first son in last application. Thx.

Should stand a reasonable chance, except the age. If you don't get approved this cycle, you will both be even older ...

You have a decent chance

SSB and SRS contributions by both of us over last 3 years and some other EQ/Bond investments locally. -- How is this going to help Singapore?

SSB and SRS - you can cashout anytime. SRS there may be a small penalty for early withdrawal. In this view, how is it going to benefit SG?

True SSB is fairly liquid but SRS is not so liquid given it’s 5% penalty and underlying investments locked up through SRS. Essentially both are meant for long term and as such evidence of long term view/commitment. Anyway it’s a small point in bigger scheme of things.

SRS and SSB does not say you must be a resident of SG till it matures. So, i dont think they are evidence of longterm/commitment in new PR application perspective

Applied for PR for my wife in Feb 2020 (myself as sponsor) - Result still pending. She has just recently resigned from her job due to pregnancy. Do I need to notify ICA? Also, will her lack of a job now affect her application chance. I am SC by the way.

You need to inform ICA. How long are you married? kids?

If you are married for more than 2 years, it is OK. Good chance. Her job loss may not have a big impact on the application. As you are the sponsor, they will look into your income.
