Chance for PR Application
My first post, been lurking for a while in this forum. Aside from income levels, we're aware of nationality issues in securing PR. Anyway, here goes:
1. Nationality - Filipino
2. Myself - $210K p.a. (local package); manager in MNC for 3+ years
3. Wife - $144K p.a. (local package); manager in MNC for 6+ months
4. Children - 2 boys
5. Education - MBA for myself in Phils, university degree for my wife
6. Age - both 37 years old
With my wife finally getting a good job, we feel that we have a good chance of being granted PR. I could've applied earlier before the elections but as they say, hindsight is always 20/20. Nevertheless, we know that the odds are heavily against Filipinos so should we already apply early next year or wait some more?

You have every thing on your side except nationality. Frankly, go ahead and apply. The worse that they can do is say you are welcome to stay here on EP's as long as you can. Anything better than that is probably time oriented and that will at least leave you with possibilities. If you get the former, at least you know where you stand for the making of future plans. Either way, you win. Being in the dark is the pits though. Go for it.

Thanks, but what if we didn't include our sons in the application? My wife is not in favor and she doesn't want us to possibly being blamed by our kids when they eventually need to work on their obligations.sundaymorningstaple wrote:You have every thing on your side except nationality.

You have no chance at all without your sons on the app. That's the biggest red flag you could possibly raise.nathan99 wrote:Thanks, but what if we didn't include our sons in the application?

With those income levels and not wanting to include sons, its very clear why you want the PR. ICA too know it, very well.nathan99 wrote:My first post, been lurking for a while in this forum. Aside from income levels, we're aware of nationality issues in securing PR. Anyway, here goes:
