That is still a good sign that you have passed the fist hurdle and now they are into the nitty gritty. That fact alone, Indian or not, bodes well, provided there is nothing to turn the tide in the additional information you were requested to provide. As you ARE in the upper echelon income wise, I would say you probably can and are making a contribution to Singapore and would be worth keeping here.
I'd give you 60:40 odds on making it.

Callput, we have seen this scenario go from a few as 3 months to
as long as 15 months. Their doesn't seem to be rhyme nor reason, but be assured, there is. It's not just the call for additional family history/details but with a lot of other factors as well. The same similar family structure overall but say with 2 years as a P1 (where both members are in that category is going to hold more weight than similar familar structure but with a family with a Single parent on a PEP but with a P2 background. There are just too many variables for us to contemplate. We just keep our fingers crossed, and me? I use a lot of data with a healthy dose of gut intuition.
Hang in there!

Hang in there!

I'm curious, ajushi, where did you get the idea that there were quotas? I've been an HR Manager for many years here and a PR here for even longer. I've not heard of any quotas per se. Can you please quote your source?PeterL wrote:its really a pity since PR quotas have been drastically reduced and you applied a tad too early. but dont give up, you can always try and appeal if its not successful

my apologies, quota wasnt the word i intended, probably more of a cap. we all know the govt wants to keep the population replacement rate at 2.1%, and more ppl are applying for PR so naturally competition heats upsundaymorningstaple wrote:I'm curious, ajushi, where did you get the idea that there were quotas?
