I’m sharing my experience as it may benefit some in the PR application process. I applied in October 2020 and got approval in June 2022 so was pending for almost 20 months. I collected my new IC last week.
My profile:
- Married to SC (for about 3 years) with a son
- Professional ($15k salary)
- Age 39 yo
- Citizenship UK
My first 3 applications (submitted before I was married) were rejected. The 4th and final successful application was sponsored by my wife.
Thanks to those who shared their experiences /provided comments on the forum. And to those with pending applications, good luck!

If possible, can share the ethnicity of the applicant (you) and spouse?

Congrats
I am also in the same boat. Were you on EP or LTVP when you applied for PR?
After how many months of marriage you applied for PR?

5 years and 10 years in my case. Think it makes a difference? There is NO one point that will guarantee PR. It is a cumulation of many various points. Each item is given different weights but what the weightage is is unknown outside the inner circle of ICA. Also on EP both times.

Thanks Vincerio.
I was on EP when I applied and stayed with the same company while PR was pending.
I have lived in Singapore for the 14 years and have been on PEP and EPs most of that time.
We were married for just over a year before applying, and my son was about 8 months old at the time.

Agreed sundaymorningstaple - we can only speculate and guess based on known outcomes.

So, as there is absolutely continuity on the outcomes, what you actually are doing is an exercise guaranteed to keep you stressed out. Speculation only generates stresses. We have enough issues in the world today to get upset on how long or little somebody else got or didn't get PR when you do not know all the variables used to arrive at a score that is either yea or nay. I've been in place here for almost 18 years and there is no continuity at all as the government keeps changing the goal posts every year or two depending on it's internal forecasting of what they need and where they want to go. About the only than that hasn't changed more than a percent in increase or decrease is the CIMO quotas. But how they are chosen is a different story.
