Total experience: 15 yrs
My Yearly sal : 90k sgd without bonus

Hi,

I have just received a PR rejection letter and need to vent a bit.

We've submitted 4 months ago.
I am Tunisian, been working in Singapore for 10 years in IT. Salary 160k+Bonus. masters degree from top French school.
My wife is Australian, also working as a Vet Doctor for 10 years. Double masters from top Australia school.
And with two kids a son and a daughter 4 &2 years old.

I really thought we would get approved as there is really nothing else that we can add to our profile to make it more attractive.

Other than a roll of dice or race based quota, I don't understand why our application is rejected.

Our last application attempt was 5 years ago. Pre-kids.

Does this mean that we will never be accepted as PR?

We really made Singapore our home, and this feels like a punch in the gut.

Is it time to move out of Singapore?

Hi everyone,

I am considering whether to apply PR for my wife on the 2nd or 3rd year ROM anniversary, would like to seek opinion here about the success rate
Our profiles;

Me:
Age: 29
Sex : Male
Race : Chinese
Religion : None
Marital Status : Married since 2019 Sept
Highest Education: Bachelor Degree in NUS in Computing (Receiving my MBA in October 2021)
Job: Used to be Civil servant at a Govt Agency, changing job in July to private sector
Length of employment with my current employer: Just changed job
Salary: 95k SGD per annum + some bonus
Singaporean male

Spouse:
Age: 29
Sex : Female
Race : Chinese
Religion : None
Highest Education: Bachelor degree in Chinese Journalism from Baptist University of HK
Length of stay in SG: since 23 June
Pass: LTVP valid till 12 July 2022 with PLOC
Job: works for a Singaporean company in Hong Kong since 2016, pending formal relocation to Singapore once our resale HDB is ready at the end of year.
Salary: 90k SGD per annum

I am wondering if I should apply PR for her on our 2nd year anniversary this year or do the PR application in parallel with her LTVP renewal next year. Her SG work probably will only officially start next year. I understand I just changed my job and probably should wait a bit.

Just wanted to check if our odds are high!

Chance is going to be low. I assume you are 35+ in age.
No, stock market or FD or other accounts - will not add any value to PR application as far as I know

You may stay and reapply after 1-2 years if you are Ok. Likely the quota.

Based on recent trends, applying after 1 year of marriage should mostly be Ok. It used to be 2 years after marriage before. Recently seen approvals after or less than 1 year of marriage too.

Thats a nice rant from Quora and not me. Not appeasing is not bitterness.
Plan B is "Wild wild west"
