I have been an avid follower of all your posts since 2008, just before we relocated to Singapore. Your advice and tips, and various shared experiences has made this forum a go-to for any information I had needed, and has helped me tremendously.
We officially moved into Singapore Oct 2008, and proceeded to apply for PR later in the same month (Hubby was on P1 Visa, which allowed us to do this immediately). Application was for the entire family. Our application was approved and we promptly received our PR late December 2008.
Moving forward, we decided to apply for citizenship, again as a family, early this year after having completed a little over 2 years of PR-ship. We were prepared to take this risk, even after knowing full well the government was clamping down on other types of work visas and PR applications. I figured we had nothing to lose, worst case scenario, we'd be out $500 and could reapply sometime in the future.
Some of my friends had told me that their citizenship applications took anywhere from 9 months to a year to process. Imagine our delight and surprise, when we received out In-Principle Approval in April, all of 2 months after our application.
I guess this means the government is still approving applications, likely for those who match their requirements?
