We have seen 21-22 months of processing time before. You may wait for 1-2 more months and then check with ICA for the status. I feel you may get it as you got PR within 2 years of residing in SG

Quite the norm now to wait for 2 years..agree with singaporeflyer, wait for 2 more months and see how it goes..

No news is good news for now.. probably means they are carefully evaluating your chances.

Hi all,

I have been looking through this forum ever since I applied for SC at Dec 2019 - pending for 19 months now.

Details as follows:
Race: filipino woman
Age: 25
Single, income 3.1k monthly in BIM (construction)
Born and raised in SG, PR automatic as father applied PR for family before I was born
Local school - polytechnic, served bond of 3 years for 2 scholarships and went to Australia for overseas study for 1 year (2 years credit from my diploma so did final year for bach degree)

I have worked about 2 years after graduating from uni in the same company and am looking to change job in the next month or so to support my ageing parents. I'm unsure if changing job will affect the application as I applied for self. I have 2 siblings, 1 received his SC after his ORD. I am working towards becoming an architect and intend to pursue masters in the next ~5 years or so.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

My wife got hers after a 22 months wait.
I can confirm that things are kinda 'delayed' as compared to what it used to.

Congratulations. You now have the record on this board. Somebody did 26 months last months before approval. You have the persistence that this country needs. I remember you. You has a medical degree from India, correct, and were taking the necessary steps to get accredited here. I'm assuming you were successful?

Yes, I am a Doctor, already fully registered in Singapore Medical Council. We applied for 4 of us, including kids. Thankfully it was successful.
