My 2 cents is that, your boss changing company would not affect your application. Whatever letter he has given that time is just a testimonial about your work.joannajane wrote:I just suddenly thought… I submitted my PR application in May with the support of my company and also had a testimonial from my boss.

Haha... well I *suspect* they are more receptive to ang mohs at the beginning of the year? Who knows. Nevermind lah, I shall await my fate that arrives with the letter! Hopefully I can try again in a few years!Wd40 wrote:Sorry to hear about it. I guess, try again after couple of years. Its funny you mentioned "looser" quota(whatever that means). The first time I read it as "loser" quota. Thats an apt name for a very special race.

Google. You will find it.vinothkanna wrote:How did you check it online anyway? any link?joannajane wrote:Well I finally heard back. I've just checked online and it's 'Rejected'. I will need to wait for my letter to figure out if I have any chance or getting it in the future or not… *sigh*. A bit upset.

Me again!
So it's been about 2 weeks since I found out online that I'd been rejected. I still haven't received a letter. As I said, I moved halfway through (but did update ICA), so I've no idea where it could be.
How long does it normally take? I know I need the letter to appeal and I'm reluctant to do anything but sit and wait. I know desperation is not a good trait. But I'm kinda twiddling my thumbs here!

My 2 cents : Appeal is not going to help unless there has been vast changes in your application like moving from Q1 to P1 pass, have a new educational qualification which is in great demang ,etcjoannajane wrote:Me again!

Good idea would be to wait for 1-2 years, upgrade your skills in between, show that you are patient and willing to wait and apply again. Good Luck !
Hi All,
Just a quick update from our end.
After a long wait for appointment with ICA, we have finally submitted our applications last week
The officer who looked through our applications told us that it could take between 1 - 6 months of processing time.
Fingers crossed.

Firstly, hope joannajane doesn't mind me tagging along this thread to ask about my chances of successful PR application. This forum has been a great source of information on Citizenship, PR and Passes applications.
I'm currently on a PEP which is valid until 2015. I've been living in Singapore for the last 4 years. My profile is as follow:
Nationality: Malaysian
Highest Education: MBA
Marital Status: Married (wife is a degree holder)
Job Title: Director
Salary: Exceeds current PEP salary requirement
Thanks.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Thanks for your feedback singaporeflyer. I agree to a certain extent however I'm interested to know if there is a time limit for an appeal? I still haven't received a letter, despite being rejected online about 5 weeks ago. I emailed on the 9th December and they replied a few days ago, saying they'd send another letter. I'm out of the country for the next 2 weeks, so even if I wanted to appeal I couldn't.
The end of year review has been in my favour, however it's not significant enough to move to P1 level just yet.
I also realised I forgot to include my CEI certificate in my application! Which is a qualification required to work in my field here in Singapore. Is there a limit on how long after a rejection you could appeal?
