ICA has never put it in black and white, but, going by their various requirements, like for LTVP +, for example, there is a need to have been married for 3 years atleast.
And from past experience of friends, those who applied for LTVP/PR etc for spouse, after 3 years of marriage stood better chances, though there are a lot of unkowns in this assumption too
Same includes Singaporean Friends, who have foreign spouses .. they struggled to get LTVP for their spouses, even when the kids were born, but once they reached the magical 3 year of marriage, suddenly LTVP / PR all was free-flowing . sort of ..
Again, above are ASSUMPTIONS .. so don't take it as the Holy Gospel ..
What works for others may not work for you, or otherwise ..
