Dear all. Has anyone been waiting for more than 9 months during your PR application? I applied in June 2009 with invitation letter from the ICA. I graduated from local institution with B.A(Hons) in Music majoring in Piano Performance and currently teaching in a music school. I have been staying in Singapore for almost 5 years.
Some of my friends got the letter for additional family details but during this 9 months I never heard anything from them at all. They said it's still processing. I am really worried although I know there's nothing much I can do except waiting.
Just want to know, has anyone experience this before? PR application more than 9 months?
Thanks. Appreciate your help.

WHy don't you call or see ICA on your application.
Some countries take about One to Five YEar to approve PR depending on its merit.

Hi Mad Scientist and BBC. Thanks for your reply. I am currently on temporary employment pass (to be renewed every 3 months). I have made a few trips to ICA to ask for the status but they said still processing.
BBC, would you mind to share a little bit of your friend's experience? Has your friend received the result? After waiting for 1 year, did he/she get PR approval?
Thanks!

I made an e-appointment in March 2009, actually submitted my papers in June 2009 and was not accepted until Jan 2010.
There has been a bit of 'noise' from locals recently who are concerned about the number of foreigners here, so I guess the government is just trying to keep them happy and slow down the intake.
Many people I know got rejected the first time they applied too. No reason given, but they eventually got it.

You sure are! But more whiney sounding than naggy. As long as you haven't gotten a thin envelope, don't sweat it. But be prepared for rejection anyway as the odds at the moment are heavily against all applications.

Actually, it's working exactly as it should. It's making all of them that was planning on taking up PR as a convenience to have second thoughts. That's a good thing. Too many PR abusers out there. Making it rough on all the rest.

are you still waiting for a reply from ICA? it seems that now it's taking longer then the average of 3 months previously...when you called ICA up, did they explain or at least give a reason as to why they're taking 9 months?

Due to pressure from the people against foregin talents.Next election is coming mostly likely next year.
Thus now applying for PR is kinda hard.Relax you will be approve if your fit the authority requirments.

Handed over the application today. The counter staff gave me the official 'application received' letter and said it normally takes 4-6 months. But I guess it can extend to much longer.
Don't know why but I have a good feeling about it. May be its just the rain.
