PR Approval Probability 2021

[sundaymorningstaple]

You mention 6 years experience, is that in Singapore as you only mention 1.5 years on an EP. Were you previously on an S pass or WP? If you total employment history in Singapore is 1.5 years, then I would have to concur with SF on his prognosis. However, success I feel is certain if you wait until you have a minimum of 24 months consecutive employment. Most EP are granted for 24 or 36 months. If you are on a 24 months EP, wait until your current EP has been renewed.

Not going to help with an appeal. 49K to 56K will not be considered as a big positive. Wait patiently and reapply after 1-1.5 years.

Extended family will not make any difference. The only case when relationship matters in PR is when you are sponsored by a SC/PR. In your case, it is not applicable at the moment.

Little Low because of age and diverse family mix.
But still try as you have the quota advantage if you are the main applicant.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback! Will update when I hear.

you have to send in a physical appeal letter. Believe that is the current process or at least what I have heard from multiple PR consultants.

It can be either electronic or physical. What matters is the content if it is really valid to turn the decision. In most cases, appeals fail

If appeal letter says that i just ROM-ed, is it a good enough valid reason ??

[sundaymorningstaple]

Nope. Cannot be any information/action taken after the original application date. If it happened after the date on your application, it is what it is. It will require a period of time before you can submit a new application. Theoretically 6 months, realistically, from 17 years of anecdotal evidence, 24 months between rejection and new application.

As long as you have a high rejection threshold, pay your money and submit. Who knows it's only time and money. lose a little money and lose a lot of time if you wasted the time it will take to get rejected on the appeal which might not be finalized for months. Months that could have been waiting for the new application window. Why be stubborn when you know you are basically a shoe-in IF you just follow proper procedure without trying to push ICA to make a decision earlier. They have the upper hand, not you. When you come with your hat in your hand, you really shouldn't draw attention to yourself. Now if you were a brain surgeon or rocket scientist, it might be another story. Sadly, Singapore had plenty of accountants.

Congrats on the promotion and accompanying salary increment. Unfortunately as SF says, the increase in not nearly enough to make a difference, being “close” with extended family will also make no difference. The only thing that will make a difference is time. Wait a year or two before reapplying, by then perhaps some other factors will have changed for the better for you.

Any idea of appeal success rates? I’ve still yet to personally hear of a success story,

It’s not something they ask for, just an implicit option.

[Lisafuller]

Thank you SF! Definitely gave me something to think about.
The reason I mentioned MP is because we are in the same community/church, and volunteer/serve in different capacity, I know it's not "something great to Singapore", so just want to know whether it will make a slight help on the chances.
(not trying to take it as shortcuts)

Be very strategic with your recommendation letters. In SG, it’s not about who is writing the letter, it’s about what they’re writing, the best letters are ones that support your character but also show that you have made a notable contribution to SG, doesn’t matter if it was written by an MP if the MP has nothing real to say about you.
