Hi everyone, thanks for the suggestions in this forum.
My upload documents button was missing since July 5th. Today 22nd July. Still fingers crossed. Cpf site also shows not on PR database. It’s been 15 months.

People love to read the tea leaves… but what is the point? It reminds me of people who stare at the flight status screen the whole flight — you’d be a whole lot better distracting yourself with other things. Like the old saying, a watched pot never boils.

Sounds like the ICA made a mistake.

Congratulations.
We had a similar case. Waited for 16 months.
PTU button was missing from 5th July.
Yesterday night got email from ICA about rejection.
Can you pls share your profile? It would be good reference point for others.

A reference point for what? Unless a person is an exact clone with cloned past and acquaintances, it not likely to be any sort of help to anybody. Only in your mind. This forum is 20 years old and if it's taught me one thing it is the profound stupidity of some people. Like Malcontent said, go read tea leaves. Just about as accurate.

I've actually done this many times haha, I like seeing the little plane move across the map, and also the camera view from the tail and wings are pretty cool.

I’ve done a lot of flights across the big pond, and find it’s best not to keep track of place or time, except to set my phone to the destination time zone (start the adjustment process asap).
This latest trip I tried taking flights that departed at night from both Singapore and the return. The jet lag definitely was better while I was there, but the jury is still out for the return (just back Tuesday).

I've never had an issue with jet lag. I've always found just staying up through the night before your flight and not sleeping on the plane until after dinner is served and then sleep till breakfast is served or 1.5 hours before arrival and then just go to bed the time you normally retire, but on the time of your location. I've never had an issue flying either east or west. (and I don't take any stimulants to stay awake either). My normal destination is one where I don't have to reset my watch as it's a 12 hr time difference. Has worked for over 40 years for me.

The newly revamped e-PR website already offers this. You have to fill up the form first. Once it's in 100%, you can upload them in the next page.
