PR approval chances 2022

[arumugamhenry]

I recently appealed. Some answers on your queries:
1. Yes, quote your original reference number when you appeal.
2. The reference number will be changed afterwards
3. No definite waiting time. My original application lasted 10 months before the result came. My appeal now is running at 7 months and counting...

wish early resolution. this is a long time in wait. in most cases many component of your application would already be stale? How do you update it then? though the UI or through the mails?

Yes not much change. Just taking my chances.
Upload button is no longer available upon appeal. I just put "some" changes and supporting docs on the email.

so as I understand- in case of appeal the upload document button goes missing straightaway. am i correct?

[sliverchair13]

When you appealed, a new application number will be made. There is no more "upload document" option on it.

This makes sense since the original application has not yet reviewed by the officer so you can add anything you like or when they requested you to do so.

For an appeal, they already have the latest documents they need.

Great points bro but being away from India for last 22 years and in this country for last 9 years I don’t see myself going back ever or I hope I don’t be forced to go back ever.
I know people are struggling big time in India now mostly the middle class, the rich ones are getting richer as everywhere in the world, the pollution the population the corruption will be too much for someone whose outside India for 22 years,
I don’t have much family ties there so I went there hardly 3 times in the last 22 years to settle my finances and bank accounts most of the time.
Now I don’t even have a bank account ..
The last I went there was in 2016 and I don’t plan to go back ever even for a short visit .
You are right we are doing well as compared to other people but also the pressure is to maintain that and do better.. anyways I believe grass is always greener on the other side when it comes to having the number 1 passport in the world.. thanks for taking time to comment bro

Now It’s my insecurities and failures that are speaking here, feel absolutely and utterly depressed with the fact that I spent 9 years chasing something that will never be achievable , most important reasons is for being born in the wrong country which cannot be controlled .. some people might have already crossed the journey from EP to SC prolly in a period of 10-12 years

I think Malcontent mentioned in some thread, it seems just because something is very difficult to achieve makes people think it is worthwhile achieving it. We are smart enough to know, that is not the case. Everyone gets their fair share of good and bad luck and I would say, we are doing much better than the average person out there in this world. Definitely not born in the wrong country. I mean take a look around you at all the Singaporeans who were born here have the pink IC with them and then see what you have achieved v/s what they have achieved. Just having the best passport in the world is of no good, if you dont even have enough money to cross the border.

I feel 1st gen immigrants do very well, whereever we go, we just set the bar too high for ourselves and then look at only what we didnt achieve. In my opinion, there is no need of any PR or citizenship as a 1st gen immigrant, we have already achieved what we had to. People generally apply PR or citizenship to set a platform for their kids. If you get PR or citizenship, you think your struggle is over, far from the truth, your struggle really starts from that point You then suddenly find out you need to match up with 1st world standards and costs for the rest of your life. Without PR/citizenship, we could just go back to our home country and have a relaxed life. I know you want to totally dismiss that idea that you can go back, but I would suggest keep an open mind India is really doing well right now and looking at the lifestyle and spending power of the people there we look like misers out here, travelling in MRT and living in HDBs.

This.
Is my key reason for trying.

People generally apply PR or citizenship to set a platform for their kids.

I believe this is the main motivation for most who come from neighboring countries in SEA.

Well said. By the way, as someone who recently became a citizen, I need to say this. The main reason that I became a citizen was for family stability given that my wife and daughter are both citizens. Had I failed to become a citizen, it certainly wouldn't be the end of the world, but it was a nice to have.

Having said that, like you pointed out, having become a citizen in an expensive country where I will most likely be retiring, I have to ensure that I am financially well prepared for retirement and don't have to struggle.

Definitely, moving back to India is not as bad as TH1 makes it seem. I see how my friends are doing in Mumbai for instance and I see life there as pretty good.

The good news is that if you can make do with your salary here, you will certainly be able to live well in India.

Raising and keeping your family here is getting harder these days if you're a foreigner with medium salary. Rental cost nowadays are skyrocketing.

Only a SC or PR status can buy an HDB here. condo is out of reach especially with the above income level.

So aside from thinking about your kids, an affordable-and-owned-roof above your head is also one of the main reason for applying.

Definitely. Securing PR status opens up many doors to start living life at the same price as locals.

There's still a 5% ABSD difference.

[Lisafuller]

True, but I was also considering things like schooling and healthcare which become cheaper once you're a PR. Not always the same price as locals, but definitely cheaper than if you were a foreigner.

Hi all,

Would it help to update ICA with my latest salary increment? It's a 15% increase which I thought is pretty decent given the current climate in the industry am in (correct me if am wrong). My PR application is approaching the 16th month mark, and am wondering if this updating ICA may make any difference.

My profile at the point of application, under the Family Ties Scheme:

Nationality & ethnicity: Malaysian Chinese
Age: Late 20s
Employment: Part time
Industry: Advertising
Education: Bachelor's degree
Marital status: Married for 10 months
Child: 2 months old
Visa type: LTVP+

SC spouse profile
Ethnicity: Indian
Age: Early 30s
Employment: Full time
Industry: Civil service
Education: Bachelor's degree

We've updated ICA when I went full time 3 months after submitting the application. They've also asked for full employment history + salary around the 10th month mark, followed by family CV from both sides in the 11th month. No request for additional documents since then.

Looks 200% chance to be approved.

Please update. Application processing may be delayed as you are newly married, but you still have the ethnic quota advantage on your side.

What do you mean 4 lines? It is just a table, with each person added to the application in a separate row and the status column shows Pending against each name. I find that a bit redundant. Either everyone gets approved or everyone gets rejected right?

Hi im new to this forum.
im a indian nationality and i have already working here for 5+ years. my wife also here and i have already applied pr for 4 times where it got rejected.

i really have lost faith on the pr approval and my wife cannot find a job here also due to the pass restriction for dp pass holders.

i thought of go with an agent for next pr application submission. is it really worth it? any suggestions what should i do?
please let me know your valuable suggestions and ideas will be give some direction to my future
