I need help with LTVP rejected!!!!!!!!!
i'm vietnamese and my husband is SPR. i used to work in singaopre for 3 years and have resigned to go back vietnam 1 year ago. We just got marriage 2 months then i failed to apply for LTVP. I was thinking that looking for help from Immigration lawyer( i found that there are many lawyers are counselling for that. However, i saw many comments in this forum said that ICA hates Immigration lawyers. So, pls advice me that what i should to do to appeal?
My husband income is quite low, its just about $2. Is it my application rejected due to the finance reason? if so, what i can do for it? Can i improve chance to get succesfull application if i hv a bank account here with about $20k?

thanks for reply. beside, i know that his income is too low so that im wodering there will be more chance for us if i hv an Singapore bank account with the big ammount of money( arnd $20k or $30k)? it just to show ICA that finance is not the big pbl between us.offshoreoildude wrote:Your combined income is way too low.

You can try, but it most likely won't help. They want to see ongoing monthly salary.melissasvn wrote:thanks for reply. beside, i know that his income is too low so that im wodering there will be more chance for us if i hv an Singapore bank account with the big ammount of money( arnd $20k or $30k)? it just to show ICA that finance is not the big pbl between us.offshoreoildude wrote:Your combined income is way too low.

OK at least the biggest hurdle is cleared because had he not, you'd be banned from Singapore indefinitely, so LTVP rejection is not as bad if you consider that.

Anyway he needs to earn higher income to support that, sorry. Not sure if having a baby helps. LTVP+ won't help also because he is a PR, not a citizen.

I never heard having a bank account will increase chance of approval. Unless we are talking about a way much higher sum of money for the intention of investing here, in that case you can consider other passes, but that's another story.

Hi, im so glad to see a vietnamese here. My purpose is just to stay here with my husband but it seems too hard.freeman.vu wrote:I never heard having a bank account will increase chance of approval.

i know there is a kind of Entrepass. you guys hv any ideas about that? it need at least $50,000 paid-up-capital. i can handle this ammount. however, im wondering that what business i can start here? pls advice, thannks
Besides the money, evidence of a committed relationship is also required. You don't want ICA to think that you're just trying to get an LTVP at any cost (and thus, making this a marriage of convenience). Come here for three months on your SVP (Husband should not have trouble extending 30 days to 89 for you), leave, come back again a few months later, repeat. Try again after six or nine months. Sucks, but you may not have a choice.melissasvn wrote:Hi, im so glad to see a vietnamese here.

Alternatively, find another job and come in on work pass?

Yes, I am Vietnamese. If you don't have any business idea, shouldn't think about that Entrepass (even though you might have more than that 50k threshold)
The most feasible way I think is wait until your husband can increase his salary range otherwise Singapore is not place for both of you in long term

Another thought.
If your husband can't meet the minimum requirement of salary to convince ICA to have you here, it really really means that he cannot afford to support a family unit in Singapore after all. Then he may as well build a family with you elsewhere cheaper and stress-free.
And that Entrepass, I'm not from a business background but even that pass is also under tightening scrutiny by MOM and ICA. You really need a very solid business/investment plan to get that too.
I know Singapore is a favourable place, but there's always bad with good.
