Re: PR approval chance in 2021
June 2018 to June 2019 is 1 yrs gap.
My guess reset.
Likely they will only look at June 2019 onwards.
Since you have applied, then just wait for the result.

Re: PR approval chance in 2021
Hi all,
First time posting, but this forum has helped out in my husband's PR application journey so I thought I'd post our experience here so that we can "pay it forward". Hope our experience provides a useful data point for everyone else here.
These are our details at the point of application (Nov 2019):
Myself (sponsor)
Age: 30
Citizenship: Singaporean
Race: Chinese
Gender: Female
Education: Bachelor Degree
Current Field of Work: Public Servant
Working Experience: 7 years
Salary: >$6500/month
My husband (applicant)
Age: 30
Race: Spanish
Nationality: Spanish
Gender: Male
Education: Master degree in Telecommunications Engineering
Field of Work: IT consultancy
Length of stay in SG: 4 months
Working Experience: 5 years
Salary : $0 at the point of application
Pass : LTVP
Here are some more details about significant events that might help:
Aug 2018 - Pre Marriage LTVP Assessment (PMLA) approved
Sep 2018 - Registered our marriage (ROM) in Singapore
Aug 2019 - He moved here, applied for LTVP which got approved for 1 year
Nov 2019 - Applied for PR, first time
Feb 2020 - We bought a resale HDB
July 2020 - Renewed the LTVP for 1 year
Oct 2020 - ICA contacted us to provide more documents (details and working history of his immediate family). At this point my husband was employed so we also provided ICA with 6 months of payslip (since Apr 2020) and a letter of employment from the employer. His salary here is $3800/mth.
Oct 2020 - We officially moved and also emailed ICA to update our address
Apr 2021 - Received the IPA letter in the mail!

Re: PR approval chance in 2021
Dear experts.
I've been reading this forum for a while and understand Caucasians (not married to a Singapore citizen or PR) have a very low chance to get PR. Also it seems not to make much difference whether one waits 2, 3, 5 years, it's a lottery basically, I get it.
So maybe stupid question, does a family where the wife of the Caucasian sponsor is ethnic Chinese and a mixed child have a somewhat higher chance? Or they just count the race of the sponsor?
If it does not make a difference, would my wife have a more decent chance applying alone for PR with her S Pass after a while? And later could after having PR for a while could sponsor me and our daughter?
What would you advise in our situation?
Thank you very much.

Low to no. Salary too low for experience & ethnicity against you.

Re: PR approval chance in 2021
Hi all,
Good day!
My PR application still pending and I been informed by my current company that I will be promoted starting 1st of July 2021. It come with salary increment. May I know whether I need to notify ICA? If I need to notify ICA, may I know when should I inform? After the first month of pay slip or once I receive the promotion letter?

Re: PR approval chance in 2021
Wait until you have pay slip, can inform with promotion letter and salary voucher. Better that way.

Re: PR approval chance in 2021
Hi all,
Good day!
My PR application still pending. My company granted me some Restricted Share Units which I could vest every 3 months. Base on the current share price, my income might increase by 100k+ SGD annually. Should I send an email to inform ICA about that?

Re: PR approval chance in 2021
Are the share prices subject to value fluctuation? Generally speaking you only supply your basic salary and need to update when that changes substantially (not annual COLA,lah). You can try, but I don't think that will be considered because if the company were to die before you vest you will lose the money, therefore it's like a quarterly bonus and bonuses are not considered as basic salary.
