Really two questions here.
1) Been in Singapore for 14 years now with no break in CPF contributions since 1997. My PR is due for renewal next year what are my chances?
2) We have not become citizens since we were hoping to adopt from India and becoming a Singaporean puts us right at the back of the queue. Now we are finally being blessed with our own child so we are thinking of applying citizenship. Can I just keep the child on long term visa and jump straight to citizenship? Do I have to make the child a PR first? as then he is committed to NS without us getting any benefits like childcare, maid levy subsidy etc. Concerned because some of my friends in a similar situation have applied for citizenship (green in ICA evaluator) but still waiting for over a year. What do you folks advise?
