I took all of my leave of this year (30days in total) and came to Singapore as I needed the code number of immigration form (disembarkation) they give, in order to apply online for LTVP. I'm hoping it will be approved before I leave and we can do the rest of formalities before I have to leave for Turkey.
We applied for PR with Singapore citizen wife's sponsorship (staff nurse at govt hospital) in March, will be 5th month over in 3 days, still pending. No news is considered good news, I know that much.
She was on no pay leave until January, living with me in Turkey. Now We are expecting a baby around September, stated this in LTVP application, too. Though I don't know if it s necessary to update for PR application about this, since there is no baby yet.
My plan is to quit work in Turkey, come back here, look for work with LTVP, figure the rest later...
As of latest, I've been working as acting Chief of Technical Services Department of branch of a nationwide Turkish Public Institution in my province. (There are over 80 provinces, but only 27 chiefs in whole Turkey). Since it is "acting" and bureaucracy requires more and more to get the title (like I've been in the company for over 4 years, needs to be 6) , my salary here isn't different too. I only got a letter informing me of this assignment.
I don't expect I can get a recommendation letter from my manager when I quit, they will dislike the news when I return, since government is constantly downsizing staff and not all of the new employees can handle the job or will take responsibility enough, whereas candidates have to go through an exam that happens once every two years to get certain government jobs like this and government managers doesn't have the luxury of being picky about new recruits....
And in the government it is difficult for people to do unusual stuff on their own initiative. This is something that is not practised in government sector of Turkey, I will only be given documents of my past records, where I worked, how I worked, how much I've ever earned...
Going back to Turkey with my wife is not much of an option now, she couldn't adapt good and has a senior and sick father in Singapore.
Now I have around 20 days to decide if I should resign when I'm back in Turkey.
Is LTVP denied easily too?
