Spouse PR_Chances

[apalani]

Hi,

I applied PR for my wife & Son(1.2 Yrs old baby) a week ago, would like to get some suggestion from you all about the chaces to getapproval of PR for my wife & son.
My Profile:
I am PR(Indian), residing here in S.pore for almost 10Years
Married in 2010, applied PR for my wife in 2010 Oct, got rejected after 14months.
Salary: S$4100, working as Engineer, My wife is home maker.
I have a boy baby, 14months old. My wife went to india for almost 10 months for 1st baby delivery in last 2 years...i believe this could be the draw back..
Now we live together in singapore, and applied PR for both, wife & son.
i would be greatful if somebody share their openion about chances of approval of PR

I would say your chances are 1 out of 10 in your favour.

I believe that the chances of certain nationalities (Phils, India, maybe PRC?) getting approved for dependent PR is low nowadays. I am also a PR and have resided in Singapore for 12 years ( 7 years as PR), my wife is a dependent PR under me. This year I applied for my 2 year old daughter who was born here but was rejected. We will try again. I suggest that you give it a shot (applying is free) but do not expect too much. Let us know if you are successful or not. I am also monitoring expat forums to see whether this policy is changing.

The thing is most of the people who got PR for themselves during the boom times, got it under very lax conditions.

Now even though its the application for dependants, its the tougher conditions that will apply. I mean if you were to apply now afresh for yourself, you would fail as well.

The son - very good.
The Indian - very bad.
The rest - neutral minus.

My guess - probably 30-40% of the chance.

Zip - nil - nada - nyet.

Prepare to take your skills and money elsewhere.

HI All,

ICA Called me last week & asked to come down with my wife to sign on Income Tax declaration form.
I asked the ICA officer that my spouse is home maker & does not have income tax, they told me that there is form that declars income, need to be signed.
We both, with my son, went to ICA & sign on missing item

Any sign? I believe no significant signal...but they started to look into the file

Please comment

By signed condo, I am assuming he bought a condo. If yes, with a salary of 6k, your friend is very brave or he has rich dad/dad-in-law back home

That salary is more than enough to buy a house in Singapore if you are willing to eat at home and not go clubbing at Clarke Quay every week

Edited: by house I meant condo... Before getting promoted I used to earn less than that and I am now the happy owner of a 3 bed room condo which I happily call home

Awesome and happy for you! However, In my case, I never ever felt that my job is secure enough in this country to do that kind of commitment. My skillset in IT is such that if I lose a job it may take months to find another one of same salary. So I am not that brave. At the moment I am really glad I didnt buy any house here, because if I did, I would have felt really tied down here to take up any job to just keep paying the mortgage, which I dont wanna do. I want to work at my terms so next few months if I dont get the kind of job I want, I am heading back to Bangalore and start afresh

True everyone has their own constraints but You can always give your condo on rent and feed the bank using it.
Just need to have a trusting agent who will not rip you off repair bills.

For that scenario, you are assuming the market remains like it is now. i.e instalments are lower than rent and that there will always be demand for rental units. I guess you were not here in 2003. May be I am overly risk averse and the worst case may not play out. Sometimes I guess ignorance is bliss and the people who do the least analysis make the most amount of money, in the short term. Long term however, I guess it's safer to be prudent than sorry.

Besides, when I am leaving a country for good, I prefer to close all links even if it means that my investments could have had more upside. For me, once I leave a country I don't even want to think about it anymore. Just want to move on and concentrate all efforts on the future direction.

Interesting scenario. I'd be watching this thread also to see if someone is familiar of this one.
