PR Application- Indian citizen with a PhD from europe
I am an indian citizen with a PhD from europe and 3 years of experience from a major university in the US. Currently working as a scientist for an academic institution in singapore since july 2009 and earn ~ 7k. I have an international reputation and have made important discoveries as well. My wife is on Q2 and earn 3.5 k per month. WE plan to apply for singapore PR in 2012, what are the chances that we make the cut ? appreciate your inputs !

Read another thread on the same topic. It seems PR for Indians is difficult due to change in demograpy (increase in Indian population by 2% over the last 10 years). I guess it all boils down to luck, my friend!angry scientist wrote:I am an indian citizen with a PhD from europe and 3 years of experience from a major university in the US.

Those in academic line and 'scientist' category are treated apart .. unlike those not in the academic / scientist category ..

There are only a couple on the board currently that I can think of: Revhappy, Singaporeflyer & Intellectualsmuse. All have become stalwarts here.

I'd say maybe 60:40 in your favour even though you aren't the flavour of the month. Primarily because both are well educated, and bringing a good track record in research & academics, it bodes well for their thrust in the R&D sectors. But, that can also work against you at the same time as they may feel that, with the animosity against Indians now, you may well up and depart as soon as a bigger carrot appears. Or, until the west gets it's economics sorted out.
But, nothing ventured, nothing gained. The worst they can say is no.
