Me- Caucasian from USA, not working, only High school diploma, visited Singapore 2 times in last 7 years. My husband and I got married 9 months ago (at time of application) in USA and we applied for PR only about 1 month after I arrived in Singapore. We applied for LTVP before that though but at time of PR application we had not yet been approved for the LTVP. Also I entered as a normal visitor as Americans can stay 3 months without a visa anyway.
My husband- Singapore citizen, works in IT with a salary of about 2.2k plus 2 bonus a year. O levels
on picking up my LTVP a little over a month after applying for PR, the lady at the desk answered my questions about renewing the LTVP in a years time with "oh pr wont take that long" which gave me hope
The ienquiry stayed at "pending" throughout and changed to "approved" on the exact 4 month mark of our application. The letter was dated a few days earlier then that.
we had no problems finalizing and getting my IC
I just wanted to give hope to others who might not be uni grads with big jobs and making lots of money, ICA isn't stupid they could see we were a real couple just trying to be together and it worked out for us. Although it might have been that I'm American but whatever I'll take it.
Good luck to everyone in the application process
