Hi,
I am Singapore PR for past 7 years and working as IT Consultant with a salary of 6K.
I am planning to convert to Singapore Citizenship.
Earlier i applied PR for my wife thinking both can apply Singapore citizen ship together after a minimum of 2-year residence as a PR, unfortunately my wife PR got rejected and i re-appealed but still the status is pending for more than 6 months.
My worry is, if i get citizenship and if my wife is still in Long term pass, it will be very difficult to live peacefully, one of the time even her Long term pass got rejected, then i did a re-appeal then it was approved.
In this case, is it advisable for me to apply Singapore Citizenship at this stage
Advice pls

I really don't think you need an answer for that one do you?

how long have you been married?
Do you have any children?
Have you spent any time reading some of the relevant threads here?

Moreover...
Where are you from?
What is your ethnicity (sadly, that is a factor now as it seems)?
Do you join any community groups or help out in community events, projects or activities?
Do you do volunteer work?
Are you a member of any prestigious groups?
How long have you been in your current job?
How many jobs have you held since you came to Singapore and how long have you held each?
All those questions, think about the answers too for your wife.

You should just get a Singapore Citizenship if you still have long term interest here in Singapore . Just get it done. Of course after having Citizenship it is easier to solve your wife's problem. But of course you might have to give up your citizenship back home, have you weigh out the disadvantage of doing that too?

Our application was rejected last year and it seems that once you have rejection then you never get it. I am 40+ and having 8K+ monthly income with a stable job and own the house.
If you are under 30 yrs of age then better to move somewhere else otheriwse you might have problem later with your family setup. I do beleive that you have techincal PR, which required to have a job to renew your entry permit.
