Hello,
We plan to stay in Singapore for the long-term and are considering applying for citizenship. My husband wants to apply for SG citizenship ASAP (like, yesterday). I would prefer to stay SPR, as I just don't feel emotionally ready to call myself Singaporean. Every year we live here I do feel a little less American and more Singaporean, and maybe in another 5-10 years I would be ready to apply for Singaporean citizenship, but my husband wants to apply for it now.
We've heard that the odds are much better if you apply as a family. What do you think his odds are if he applies alone, without me and the kids? Has anyone here successfully applied for citizenship while their spouse remains a PR?
