"Proceed to upload documents" button is missing in ICA Website

[sundaymorningstaple]

I think the trespassing being referred to is the trying to use the CPF board as a way around the ICA notification system.

Yes, when the upload button disappears, some used to go and try login into the CPF portal to check if they can access it and indirectly trying to find out the application outcome even before the approval letter is issued.

But the outcome doesn't change either way, does it? I didn't, and wouldn't do this personally, but I can see why others might.

I don't know if it could/would or not. But I do know that it is a vindictive government (LKY legacy) and it is hard to say what they may use as an excuse to trim the numbers of approval. It's like the so called 6 months to apply for PR. While it's written on the site, it a rare happenstance if it does happen, with 2 years being the realistic norms. What they write and what they do are often two entirely different things. Why do they need a spouse's Family CV? They don't always ask for it, but they occasionally do. They don't' have to answer to any other ministry or the PM for that matter. ICA officers are not to be trifled with. Who knows? If they were to think that this chap is too clever for our liking as he's prone not to follow protocol.......

A quick update: My PR(including my wife and 2 daughters) got approved one day after I saw ICA Ref No. on CPF Digital Services~ 7 months of waiting, it's not too bad right?

I got an email from ICA at 3:50 am this morning, thank you guys for sharing your experience on this forum, I wish you all the best of luck in the future:)

Congratulations! Yes, seven months is actually considered pretty short.

Thank you Lisa~ Really didn't expect it would be that short

That's an interesting standpoint... so maybe not to try this too frequently

True. Officially they'll never be able to do that, but we can never see what goes on behind the scenes. Have to have the proper profile and an officer having a good day to be approved.

[Nesan1988]

Did you checked Cpf site?

Hi digitalfruits18, have you received the outcome of your application? My upload button went missing on 15 June as well, but the status is still pending on the ICA page.

Hi Everyone,

Good Morning!! I have been following posts in this Forum and they are really helpful. We are Indians staying in Singapore from 2012 and both husband and Wife working on EP. We have 2 kids both boys and younger one born in SG and age 5 and 2 yrs old. Just want to check on our case if you can help us to provide your thoughts. We applied PR in Dec 2022 and our upload document button disabled on 15th June 2023 and 2 hours before this we got call from ICA officer asking to upload passport back copies. As my husband know that we uploaded all documents earlier so he explained officer where to look for documents and he was able to find them out and also my passport will expire in October and i have got the new passport already and when my husband asked him whether to send my new passport details he mentioned that we can just change it at the counter itself and he said no pending action from us and will finalize decision on Thursday itself. Did any one been in to the same situation earlier. Will ICA call directly instead of asking through website or email? How long does it take to get the result after button is missing? What are our chances of Approval?
Thanks

@digitalfruits18 No update for us as well until today. Its more than 2 weeks already

Dear all,

I have been following the forum for quite some time in stealth mode, and have found many useful inputs from various contributors. I wanted to let you know that my family's PR application got approved. This was the first application I made for my wife and my son under my sponsorship as an existing PR (Indian national). I got the notification email last night at ~1.00am Singapore time. The notification button disappeared on 15 June, and the approval letter lists the approval date as 4 July.

Massive thanks to this community for all the insights. Good luck to everyone!
