I doubt if the "rule change" had anything to do with it at all. Saying you weren't aware of the rule CHANGE implies that you were aware of the original rule which means you should have been okay as before the rule change you had to notify at 11 and not 13. Therefore it was probably more like "we no longer are in Singapore so screw 'em".mimo wrote:We migrate to oz in 2004,my son left singapore at 9yrs and is 15 now. did not apply for ep at 13,not aware of the rule change.He has oz citizenship recently.I have applied for my son deferment recently and was turndown.

I fully understand that chances is slim or as good as zero as my intial application was attention to this Ms Yum. So i will write an appeal letter to her again as per your advice. Do i still need to send all documents like all pages of his passport, citizenship and etc which i already did the last time? maybe its enough to give them the reference no. of their reply letter to me.
No, give everything again. They like it that way which means you are serious and quote the reference number too.
I applied online for a ep for my son up to 16 and a half before i submit his last application. I was told in the reply letter that according to records,he has remain outside without ep which i know they mean from 13. Was told to advise my son to return to Singapore to resolve his Ns offences asap.
Correct, even without you telling me I knew this is would be the outcome
I intend to write this appeal letter after i got my OZ citizenship,renounce Singapore citizenship with my wife. hopefully it helps in some way as i read somewhere in this forum that they do not like to have the parent still as s'porean where the child can renounce his .
Not exactly black as black and white as white. Who did you hear it from ? Myself , SMS ? Different circumstances warrants difference action. Certainly not in your case, that I am sure.
Your choice to wait until 2012. The longer you wait the longer the list of offense you commit.
Communicate with them with earnest NOW if you value your son future and let me know of the first step and we will guide you from there
Never say cannot be done if you never try .
All I can say is that your son will question you when he is old enough to understand. You do not want that to happen , right ???
Anyway, thanks for all the info. keep up the good work guys.
