Chances of PR Approval

[Dentist08Mom2018]

Hi. I’m new to this forum. I’m just trying to get some inputs/advices based on anybody’s PR application experiences.

I’ve been in Singapore since March 2010. I’m working in a dental line. 1 company since day 1. My pass started with S Pass and now I’m holding an EP. I gave birth June 2018 to a baby boy and he is my dependent. He is in a child care centre since he was 4 months. I’m a single mother, by the way. The father of my son is not a Singapore citizen. And my son’s name follows mine. We are Filipino citizen.

I’ve been applying for PR since 2011-2016. Definitely not successful. This is my first time to apply with my son. We applied March 2020 and waiting until now. Usually it only takes 2 months to receive my rejection letter. It is taking them so long this time. Maybe because of the Covid.

Anybody who have the same experience?

March 2020 to now is not even 6 months yet. PR would take 6 months even in normal times and since now we are in midst of COVID, you can expect it to take longer than usual.

Ya I’m just waiting. I’m just so used to receiving the rejection letter within 2 months. That fast. Hopefully, not this time.

Long waiting times appear to be the standard now.

Hi. But what do you think? Do we have a chance?

What is your age? What’s your income level? Your nick says you’re dentist but you were on Spass before this? So are you a full fledged dentist registered with Singapore Dental Council?

[sundaymorningstaple]

I think she isn't practicing here in Singapore. "I’m working in a dental line", to me, is alluding that she may well be working as a technician or other dental support role. Hopefully she will clarify this.

What do you exactly work as?

Dental Surgery Assistant for an OMS (Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon)

Salary is a bit on the higher side for our line because I’m the only assistant. I only have 1 colleague which is the receptionist. I do her job as well. I do accounting and stuff. My boss is basically blind if I go missing. No mc, no leave, unless the boss goes. Name it, I don’t have it. I’m used to this kind of set up since 2010.

Chances are very low for Filipinos, I’ve accepted that long ago. Stopped applying in 2015 or 2016. Fed up! Got pregnant in 2017. Got a boy. Lazy to apply. Now my boy is 2, I tried again and waiting.

Pass expiring March 2021. Ready to leave the country if not given PR. I can’t do no leave, no mc anymore, so not renewing. Hopefully, I don’t eat my words with the “not renewing” part.

Your length of time here will be in your favour but for your ethnicity, your salary is on the low side.
I'm sorry your boss is like that. I do know other bosses in Singapore, some at large MNCs, who have the same attitude and cannot tahan when staff go on leave

You have been in Singapore for a long time now, I would stick it out for a bit longer to get a response, but what country is your exit option? Back to the Philippines?

Yes back to the Philippines, I guess. Or eat my words and agree to the renewal of my pass. I chose the baby. Otherwise, I would be in Canada already. Canada employment contract and positive pregnancy test came at the same time. No regrets though.

All we can do is wait. ICA must be very busy right now.

Thank you for the response.

If the father of the baby has a passport to another country, you might be able to get something via that route, but that's all very specific on the country.

I am personally sympathetic to your cause because I think Singapore needs more medical staff than it can realistically produce.

Good luck to you. I suspect you won't hear for a quite a number of months, but when you do, it would be nice to hear from you.

It’s just me and my baby here. No helper or whatever. The father of my baby ran to USA and hide. Hope he gets Covid there!

I will update once I get the result whether successful or not.
