PR Approval Probability 2021

[smoulder]

Hi,

I've been following this forum quietly for sometime and found resources are helpful!

I've applied the PR Jan 2020 (first time after waiting some tax years), and since then on pending mode. Looking to see your expertise here on my chance of getting approval

Profile:
Job: IT Engineer (support)
Age: 32, single
Nationality: Indonesian (stated as race on application)
Religion: Christian
Length of stay in Singapore: 5 Years
Working in Singapore: 5 years
Annual salary: S$80,000 (EP P1 Holder)
Qualifications: Bachelor of IT from Indonesia (top Indonesia's university, part of ASEAN University Network)

Timeline:

Jan 2020: Applied PR
March 2020: Changed job, informed ICA, ack'ed by them
August 2020: ICA sent an email asking me to procure my family (parents, sisters) CV which I did.

Since then it's completely silent.

What is the odd of me getting approval this year?

Chance will be still low. Also little surprised that 80K annual salary is given EP P1. Are you sure?

I've just received the outcome letter few days ago . They gave me the In Principle Approval. I think I was beating the odds here. Also, I heard from my Indonesian circles, two families got their PR approved around one month earlier.

I'd need to procure some original documents which are with my mom in Indonesia. I don't know how to proceed since it's gonna be difficult these days.

She can courier the docs right?

Congrats. You can explain to ICA and they will be helpful in this situation.

Hi all, I recently got married to my partner who is a Singapore PR. I myself have been living and working in Singapore for 5-6 years and currently hold a PEP. Not sure if it's relevant or applicable but our combined monthly household income is relatively high (>30K) and we are in our 30s with no kids.

I previously applied for a PR as an EP holder self applicant - application was rejected after about 7 months of review time. Do you think I would have a good chance to re-apply as part of a sponsored application by my wife? Or should I hold off and wait until at least 2 years of marriage has passed?

Grateful for any inputs!

Thanks.

Obviously, the most correct answer would be wait at least two years (especially considering you have already be rejected once). How much time is remaining on your PEP? If you really are chafing at the bit, at least wait until you have passed two years since your rejection. Again, other than a guesstimate on your incomes we really don't have anything to go and approximate age range. Where do you fall in the CIMO lineup? That may have a lot of bearing as well as we are at the midpoint of the year and don't know how much of the relative ethnic quotas have already been filled. If you are already on a PEP, I feel you chances may be good from a PEP standpoint and the recent marriage to a PR. I think filing under Family Ties (wife sponsor) would be best as they will still take your PEP into consideration. Good luck

PEP has until March 2022. We are in our early-mid 30s. My ethnicity is Caucasian (I'm originally from UK). Wife's ethnicity is Chinese.

Hi everyone and @singaporeflyer,

You guys are super helpful. Last year when I was going to apply for the PR, I was approaching a consulting firm. But I learned from you guys that it is useless. So I did not waste my money on that. Thanks again.

If possible, please help to assess my profile and how to improve it would be meaningful to my family.

Main Application: Vietnamese, Age 30, EP Holder, Software Engineer, have stayed in Singapore for 7 years, working 6 years. Highest degree: NUS Master in Tech.

I applied for PR first time last year when my salary was 108k and got rejected right after 6 months. After waiting for more than 6 months, I applied again early this year with my wife right after I got married, and change my job to another top e-commerce firm in Singapore with a 120k salary. Still waiting for the result.

My wife is Vietnamese as well, she is 33 a Bachelor's holder in a vn uni. Currently, she is a housewife as she is pregnant and we are expecting another baby in 3 months, probably being born here. I also changing job into another big tech company with a salary of 170k.
So I figured that if I got rejected this time, I will apply again as I getting another job and a baby. Do you think it is a sensible strategy or should I wait for more?

Is it true that I should always apply with my family even that my wife's profile is not strong? I understand that the PR may grant individually, is it correct?

Applying as a family is always better. Apply after 1 year on your new 170K salary. Current chance will be still low for your application in progress

Thank you for your thought. Yeah, I will try again, really want to root my family here.

Looks like going the family route might be the best method as both of you will be considered when adjudicating the application. Chinese and already a PR makes her an excellent sponsor and with you on a PEP I reckon it will be reasonably smooth going.

Ok, thanks for the feedback. So you don't think I need to wait 2 years post marriage? Or you still think I would have an ok chance right away if it is a sponsored application by my wife?

[sundaymorningstaple]

Obviously waiting until married two years are prime, but that's why I mention chafing at the bit. Wait until you have passed two years since your rejection. I reckon that will be sufficient, but if you can wait till married 2 years, that would be an even better chance with probably not that much more waiting. Wish you luck, although I don't think you will need any luck.
