Dependent PR to independaent PR

[Mettatan]

Hi,
I Obtained my PR under the sponsorship of my husband, About 10 years ago. My husband intends to apply for citizenship but I would like to retain mine. If he is successful, does that mean my PR will become invalid? Do I need to apply for PR based on my own merit before he converts?
Thanks.

Your PR will become more valid. But not sure, if your husband can ward off the new measures by HDB or schools, as you will still be PR

Your PR will become more valid.

"More valid"? What does that mean?

Technically, it should be ok. You wont lose your PR. I read in HWZ forum someone who has done that. But, in the current environment, whether your husband will get citizenship if he applies for it alone, is a different question.

I meant, now she has got more reason why she should be a PR. Atleast when REP expires, it counts.

High chances your husband's citizenship application will get turned down if he applies alone.

Citizenship application is a indication you wish to put down your roots in the country, having a foreigner wife will give signals you are not truly sinking your roots in the nation.

What's your race/citizenship. Why do you want to retain your citizenship? Is it just some attachment to your birth country or are you guys trying to get extra benefits in 2 countries?
