Lots of times. Especially if ICA suspects it's a ploy just to get to stay in Singapore.
Or, they might do what they did to my Nephew's wife (we are still at loggerheads with ICA & MOM over this one - MPs & the Mayor haven't even been able to help). They let her stay her on a LTVP, she had the baby, baby was given Singaporean Citizenship as the husband/father was Singaporean as well. When her LTVP was up they refused to renew it. She had to return to her country. She is still there today almost 3 years later. The baby lives with the father (and both live with me) as the baby doesn't have the mother's citizenship, having been born here.

Two things:
Most immigration officers (of ANY country) will assume an applicant be rejected. It's up to the applicant to convince them otherwise.
On the other hand,
People who hold such power aren't exactly known for their flexibility of thought, empathy or in more extreme cases, common sense.

Same way a mother has been separated from her daughter. Although they weren't initially. The mother took the little girl to the 'peens and they let her stay for a year but after then, because the child didn't have citizenship, the Father (my nephew) had to fly to the 'peens and bring her back to Singapore, where she's been ever since.
Investigate? You gotta be kidding! There is only one person who can circumvent their decisions by intervention (possibly two - the PM & the President - unfortunately, while a member of the PA, I'm really not on speaking terms with either, albeit I have met the PM).

No, it's due to MOM and their draconian measures at social engineering. The though process being that if the wife was on a WP then she couldn't be too smart so giving permission to marry with a local, well, I guess they are afraid of upping the level of quality of the gene pool.
Cause it can't be more depleted with thought processes like that.

having said that, they're too destroying locals who married any other WP holders just because they "arent that smart" doesnt give ICA a chance to destroy ones family! i'm sure your nephew is pretty tortured by this rule too. being seperated from ones family is really a mental torture to most people.sundaymorningstaple wrote:No, it's due to MOM and their draconian measures at social engineering.
