I’m asking for my fiance who’s been a PR living in SG for almost his entire life, got a barchelors degrees overseas and currently working in a post-production studio in SG. He applied for a citizenship once he filled 1 year working steady and has been waiting for around an year.
The catch is, he’s worried that he would get rejected because of his exemption from the NS(2nd gen PR). He went to serve the army, but had to get exempted during the service due to medical complications that has been approved by the officials. The ICA apparently asked for his letter of exemption approval recently, and that’s been making him anxious if that might negatively affect his application.
For further details, his family members are SC(singapore citizens), good academics(barchelor’s degree and is fulfilling the 5 years pact with the gov) and is Chinese-Malay. His earnings are around $3000 per month onto 2 years of working(its not much, this seems to be the nature of media jobs in SG.) but contributed a lot for local tv shows and movies and won several international awards. We plan to marry in SG, but I heard that me, his future wife, being a foreigner does not help.
Has anyone had experience or heard stories about any outcomes that are similar to his case? What are your insights on this case?
