I have been lurking around here for quite some time as a guest and I've decided to get myself some advise from the audience here. I have 2 questions generally but before that, here's how my background looks.
Age: 29 (as of 2021)
Gender: Male
Race: Chinese
Citizenship: Malaysian
Marital status: Single
Highest education: Master's degree in IT from one of the reputable uni in UK
Employment sector: Global IT programs engineer in one of the MNC
Salary: $80k gross annually. (Not inclusive of bonus since it's a fluctuating value)
Family background:
- Father still works as a service advisor in enterprise HVAC company
- Mother retired as a legal clerk
- Younger brother graduated MBBS and currently situated in Australia
- Investor in both SG and US market. (Capital gains not calculated in salary since it's not a constant earning)
- Been a PR holder since May 2019.
- Submitted SC application back in May 2021 after fulfilling 2 years criteria.
That's basically what I have on the table, so here are my questions:
1. Just like any other topics around here is that, how likely am I getting an approval? Like... does the gov need a person/skillsets like mine?
2. Recently my partner and I had been talking about getting ROM somewhere around Oct-Nov 2022. She's mainland Chinese and a PR herself, have been in SG since the past 10 years. Since she is the only daughter of her parents, she did not consider applying for SGC for now as she expects to take care of her aging parents back at home in the future. So having her original citizenship gives her more flexibility to be with them longer, more often, and I respected that. Coming back to the original question, assuming that my SGC approval came (I'm being VERY optimistic per se) after we ROM, would this hinder either of us?
**TBH I am not very familiar with married applicants but I've heard stories where married couples saying when one of them approved, the partner was offered SGC invitations as well. And turning it down would leave a bad image that might impair future applications, or even REP renewals.**
Do note that my partner wasn't rejecting the idea of being part of SGC but rather she wants to fulfill her duty as the only daughter for her parent, by caring them and have the flexibility of being with them longer as they age.
Hopefully the community here may shed some light, as it will help us navigate our plans. Your input is much appreciated.
