Sounds to me like they are giving her the go ahead to marry you, to me. You can call them, but it's pretty plain, but whether it has anything to do with her mother or not is a different story. If it will make you feel better, go ahead and call them, but from my reading, they are saying she has a green light to marry you.Skypirate wrote: Based on your application data, the approval of the Controller of Work Passes is not needed for you to marry a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident (PR), or for you to set up a family in Singapore.
However, remember that marrying a Singapore Citizen or PR does not mean you can stay or have permanent resident status in Singapore. You may apply for permanent residency, subject to the requirements of the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority. Otherwise, you may continue to renew your pass with the relevant authority.

Anyone has similar experience?
PS: I just recalled her estranged mum (who had remarried a Singaporean). She is either a Singaporean or Singapore PR as what I know.
Does that make a difference?
I am going to give a call to MOM on Wednesday to clarify this.
Once again your advice would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Happy New Year. And, yeah, what the hell am I doing on the board at this hour!! My wife and daughter went to India last night and I'll be following next Friday night for my daughter's traditional wedding ceremony in Kerala on Sunday. This is the 1st time in 29+ years of marriage we haven't spend the new year together! So, I'm a lost ball in high weeds tonight.![]()
But if I were you, I'd be celebrating!

But this is a different type of marriage so I'm not sure what she's getting into, they are Orthodox Syrian Christians (which is one of the largest Christian churches in Kerala - Christians are the 2nd largest religion in Kerala).![]()
So it's gonna be interesting. I'm only there for 3 days. Leaving the night of the 4th and back in Singapore the morning of the 8th (all of us - then on the 12th the legal ceremony and reception at the Rasa Sentosa) Putting a pretty good sized dent in the finances all in all. Will have to admit, though, I actually like the guy.
No need to call. It means she can go ahead to marry you without additional hoops to jump over. I've seen this document given to some WPs of favourable background.Skypirate wrote:Hi Guys,
In 2 hours and 15 minutes time, we would be welcoming the dawn of a new year and here I wished all of you a peaceful end to 2012 and great start to 2013.
I need help and advice on this peculiar issue which really stumped me.
I just received a letter from MOM (Signed off by Mrs. Penny Han - Controller of Work Passes)
It clearly indicates (I re-read it at least 10 times and verified the WP number is correct)
