PR for my non-degree-holder spouse?

Post by Miss Swan » Thu, 04 Nov 2010 9:17 am

I'm exploring the idea of getting PR status for my Aussie partner.

I've looked through the documentation required for PR application under a Singapore citizen (I am one). Simple, straightforward.

The only catch is, my partner doesn't have a degree. And I know how much the government wants to attract educated talents. For those who've gone down this road before (i.e. PR via spouse), will my partner have a low chance of receiving PR status?

Any thoughts?

Yes it is possible, been there, done it, got the T-shirt.

What's your hubby's current status? Working? Current visa etc etc

Couple of questions.

How long have you been married? Do you have any children by this union?

How long has your husband been working in Singapore?

What type of pass?

I lived in Singapore for 11 years on a tourist visa (worked in the offshore oil exploration industry) and was married with 2 kids (all three, Singaporeans) when I applied for PR back in 88 after taking up a job in Singapore on an EP after listening to Leekys last ND rally speech about having another look at the Family Ties scheme. I was duly rejected. I appealed and was rejected again. I applied again in '91 and was approved. I only have a High School diploma so it's an iffy situation at best, especially under the current climate here.
