My PR Chances
Hi Guys
Wanted to check what would be the probability of getting my PR approved before I put in my application.

No of years in Singapore: 5 years
Pass holding - EP P1
Salary: 9K/PM
Qualification : Bachelors Engineering Degree from India
Spouse details
Race : Indian
No of years in Singapore: 2 years
Pass holding - DP
Qualification : Masters Degree from India
LOC rejected recently (2 weeks ago)
What do you think are the chances if I apply for a PR now.

Wait a couple of years. Maybe have a child. Or two.
But, frankly, if she was unable to get an LoC (again, this depends on what type of position she was applying for) I wouldn't see to much benefit in applying for PR. If you apply for just yourself, I don't see that happening either, what with her on a DP for the past couple of years.
However, don't let that stop you from applying. We've see stranger things happen that seem to buck the odds.

Found it quite concerning too. If they are rejecting LOC as well now, that could be problematic for couples with not-so-high joint income.PrimroseHill wrote:I am surprised that LOC was rejected, I had thought that its a given.
But then again, we do not know about the circumstances. Could be they filed something wrongly. In any case, I think best to appeal, make extra sure everything is filed correctly, write a nice letter, and maybe talk to an MOM officer (if s/he can be reached). Would be great if OP posts some more details on this.

There are certain industries for which an LoC will not be granted. That's why we are asking for what type of position it was. That could well be the key.

When i last looked at the LoC guidelines for my wife's DP, it was a pretty limited set. She couldn't work in Chinese Medicine, Massage parlors, Karaoke lounges, bars, etc. What else is there that is more mainstream?sundaymorningstaple wrote:There are certain industries for which an LoC will not be granted.

Re: My PR Chances
I will wait for 12k pm if that's coming in next year or 2. If you are not expecting 12k pm soon, go for it.arshad3182 wrote:Hi Guys

Be warned that now or with 12k pm, you have a very strong chance of rejection and a medium chance of dreaded "You are welcome to work on your EP..."
Diabolically, you will atleast know if you need to work on plan B or C or ...
