I would not encourage you to ask her to resign until you can get confirmation that she can be on LTSVP after her WP is cancel in writing
I obtained salary > S$2500 per month.
Yes this is the min. guideline for sponsor
We have done our ROM in Singapore with MOM approval letter.
Here come the Question:
1) Must her go back to China after WP cancel? Is there any method to apply any VISA or PASS to stay in Singapore without going back to China?
Once her WP is canceled she will be given a standard 30 days SVP . Not much time and things you can do within 30 days . You need to sponsor her when applying for her LTSVP NOW. Proof of income, marriage cert. Tax return are some of the doc that you need to supply. if you cannot get this done, I am afraid she will go back to China
2) If she went back, is there any minimum re-enter period for her? If yes, how long will be that?
This is matter of contention. Some guideline said she should return to her point of departure. Some states 5 days turns around. MHO 30 days turn around is a safe bet
3) What are the chances of getting SVP approved? If rejected, can appeal through Form 14A with personally go down to ICA?
SVP approval is no problem but to extend it is another matter. Yes go and appeal if you must personally . But I must state though MOM approves your marriage , that does not necessarily a green light for ICA to approve her LTSVP. Too many similar cases have occurred.
4) I have no property in Singapore, does my salary enough to justify that i can support her livelihood here? Will it affect the process in applying LTVP?
Thanks

To my knowledge this can be done. It is best to see ICA officer to confirm in writing. Previous practise may not be the same as now. I am basing from previous protocol
Once she get LTVP, is she need to immediately stop working and cancel her WP?
If approves , she can only hold one pass, if she is on LTSVP then her WP will be or must be canceled at MOM. ICA issues LTSVP , WP is from MOM
My friends has suggested me to apply LTVP while she has cancelled her WP, they said with WP, application for approval is harder.
I cannot vouch from hearsay, I do not know this
Hope your can enlighten me.

Whether or not she can get the LTVP issued in the space of the 30 day SVP issued upon cancellation of her WP is another question. The SVP cannot be extended. (it can in normal instances) but not one that is issued as a result of cancellation or expiry of a work visa.
You been on the pop today?SMS:MOM will not issue LTVP while she is still on a WP as she is not allowed to work on an LTVP
