Hi,
Thanks for the response. It is a bitter pill to swallow, but I guess I just need to try harder or do things differently to improve our chances.

Re: PR approval 2021 chances
Hi,
My husband and I are planning to apply for PR for the first time. Can you please help assess our chances?
Me:
Age: 37
Race + Nationality: Indian
Education:
- MBA (IIM/India)
- Post Graduate Diploma (University of London)
- Currently pursuing a distance learning PhD at the University of Bath
Occupation: Senior Manager (in an international public health non-profit)
Salary: ~150K
Pass Type: Employment Pass (EP)
Living/working in Singapore: Since July 2017
Total years of work experience: ~13 years
Husband:
Age: 39
Race + Nationality: Indian
Education:
- BTech (IIT/India)
Occupation: COO (with a Singaporean startup in the AI space)
Salary: ~120K (plus some stake in the startup)
Pass Type: Dependent Pass with an LOC
Living/working in Singapore: Moved in July 2017/Started working here from May 2018
Total years of work experience: ~16 years
Edited to add: We've been married for 11 years; no children. We've recently filed for adoption of a child from India. We're also exploring the possibility of adopting from Singapore/Malaysia. This is actually our primary motivation for applying for PR - we think Singapore is a fantastic place to bring up children and would like to settle down here to raise our child(ren).
Thank you very much!

Re: PR approval 2021 chances
Very slim until you have worked on your EP at least two full years and/or had three tax assessments. It still might be touch and go as you and your family show no inclination to be permanent residents as none of you are currently residing here nor showing any inclination to do so even though you are on an EP drawing a sufficient salary to have them here.
