Exactly what I've been telling people for 18+ years I've been on this board.Hope2023 wrote: ↑Mon, 18 Sep 2023 8:35 amI didn't say that was the only reason.
In the previous question in the appeal what changes I updated.
That was one of the latest change for my side. When I submitted my appeal.
It was not the sole reason.. as I mentioned in my earlier post.
15 years struggle and persistence and significant changes from year 1 to 15.
There is no guarantee just becoz u do one thing u will get it.
Invest integrate and don't lose money with scammers thats my point.
There are always outliers.hopeislife wrote: ↑Thu, 06 Jul 2023 3:26 pmTo be honest, i cant believe you got PR with just 6months of processing time. Quite surprising for me, but congratulations anyway. It is quite unbelievable for me (as if someone is saying 2+2=5), as your family profile is similar to tons of indian families who apply for PR.nik0508 wrote: ↑Thu, 29 Jun 2023 4:55 pmHello All,
Thanks for viewing my post.
I have generally been a silent spectator in this group, so far with only one post a few years ago. I have recently received approval for Singapore PR and post completion of formalities I am a Singapore PR now. I collected a lot of good insights and could decode a lot of myths/interesting thoughts that people comment/post about.
The purpose of this post is to thank the admins, moderators, and other content posters and share a bit of insight with other wannabe Singapore PRs.
For the benefit of others here is a bit of background.
Indian Family of 4 (husband, wife & 2 daughters)
We have only one income
Daughters aged 6 & 9 go to MOE-affiliated local primary schools.
Work in the banking sector (Non-IT)
In Singapore for Education 2005 to 2006 (Post 2006 was in Middle East & India)
Work in Singapore from 2014 till now. (in Total 10 years)
First application in 2017 - Rejected after 10 months' wait.
Second application in Nov 2022
Additional documentation request in 5 months April 2023. (confirming the school name for my younger daughter who moved from Kindergarten to Primary in the midst of the application).
In May 2023 received the IPA letter.
Yes CPF portal showed an update 3 days prior to the approval on the ICA inquiry page.
Never used the help of any agent - Simply overrated.
Stuck to the basic information requested on the form, not a single letter or word extra than requested.
Documents - Just shared the Annex A, DOB Cert, Graduation & Post Graduation documents, Passports, Marriage certificate, EP, and Work experience letter with the mere date of service & DP for dependents. No accolades, references, or other credential documents.
End-to-end application to approval was 6 months & 10 days.
Once again, lots of gratitude, this forum has been very helpful.
May be your education here back in 2005 to 2006 supported your profile a bit. Also, can you share your occupation field or job and salary? since you say you are a single earner.
Agreed, we can only guess and speculate, but unless ICA has explicitly stated that as being the reason for the approval, we can never know for sure.sundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Mon, 18 Sep 2023 12:02 amThe question that hasn't been answered, however, is did ICA indicate that the purchase of the property was THE reason for the appeal being successful. Or was it a general approval after reviewing all the facts. You might assume is was the property (as most of the readers here will do unthinkingly) but I'm betting odds that it got approved solely on persistence. And, if that is so, congratulation for staying the distance! Sometimes persistence is all it takes (also took me 11 years but I had less going for me than you did, except for my "assimilation" abilities here during those years.
True, those that are sincere about making a life for themselves here will always make it eventually, just have to have patience and persistence.Hope2023 wrote: ↑Mon, 18 Sep 2023 8:35 amI didn't say that was the only reason.

Exactly, all they do is fill out forms which you could do quite easily and write a very basic cover letter. Not worth some money.Hope2023 wrote: ↑Tue, 19 Sep 2023 9:09 amI have colleague who used to work for those immigration agencies the ones u see ads in LinkedIn fb for pr application.
She mentioned they always lie , especially increase price in every appeal actually they do nothing for your approval process.
Learn to write your cover letter , no one knows ur story better than you.
Paying 4000 5000 for writing your story is a scam.
Don't fall for it.
Don't go through agencies..
Congratulations Hope2023! Your perseverance as quoted by many, is truly admirable and inspiring.Hope2023 wrote: ↑Fri, 16 Jun 2023 8:49 amCongrats to u From hk.
Quota matters ..different nationality different quota..
For indian quota the struggle is 4 to 5 times tougher than other nationalities honestly
Last 13 years we tried everything we seen in this forum. But I am not recommending anything coz we don't know if it works.
One big regret is going to AGENCY - paid in the first 2 attempts waste of money don't use agency.
They are just scam to cheat people..they shut down companies and come back with new name after warningg from gov...and yet again cheat people so don't fall for the agencies who say they can get u pr. That's a blind lie.
They cant it's in the power of ica.
Stay long in singapore, integrate, integrate.
Thanks
This is not a walk-thru of how to integrate, but just a few examples of what integrations can include that are not "tangible", as it were. As an aside, this was told to me about 10 years after I gained my PR but not something I can quote due to the nature of the origination of the comment..
