Did you get our PEP before Dec 2012 or after that? if you are on a PEP under the new rules you might try appealing but personally I don't think it will make a difference.
Weren't you given a PR after you completed your MS from NTU? Based on work ex you would have completed your MS sometime around 2008-2009. Getting PRs back then was pretty easy ( esp for Indians ) and it is the exact opposite now.
Hi Thanks a lot for your reply and I appreciate your suggestion. If just for the money then I can move to US or Australia but I do not really give much importance to it. I feel Singapore is very secure which made me to apply for PR. Just appealed.. I know the chances are really low...movingtospore wrote:I am really sorry but the anecdotal evidence going round is that Singapore doesn't like Indians these days.
If you are a highly skilled graduate, which is seems you are - you might want to look for greener pastures. Canada, US, Australia...
Sorry not very nice advice and not fair but unfortunately seems to be the way it is these days.
During my masters, upto my knowledge I have not received any letters.. bad luck...sundaymorningstaple wrote:Additionally, if you were sent a letter while doing your MS and you didn't take it up at the time of offer, everybody I know that did that, have been rejected at a later date when they did apply (their circumstances or thoughts may have changed). Which sounds like a case of sour grapes on the Gahmen's side but it's their ball park and their ball.
It doesn't have to just for money. Both Australia and US don't have racial profiling like Singapore has. My cousin had gone to Sydney about 5 years ago, around same time I came to Singapore. My PR application got rejected after they held it on for 10 months and asked me documents about additional family members. My cousin applied this year as soon as he got married for him and his wife and he is an Australian PR now with same benefits as a citizen.pchandrasekar wrote:Hi Thanks a lot for your reply and I appreciate your suggestion.

Thanks for the belly laugh this evening. Surely you jest! You cannot have been serious with a statement like that.US don't have racial profiling like Singapore has.
Quotas are set by country and region. Hard ethnic quotas were in place until 1965 which meant that virtually no Asians could immigrate.bloodhound123 wrote:SMS - Isn't the PR criteria in the US based on a system wherein you satisfy a prescribed set of criteria and you get green card after a X number of years? ( depending upon the category under which you apply - Eb1, Eb2, Eb3 ...). Or does the USCIS too have a blackbox policy like SG.
Have a look at the wikipedia link that SE has shared. There is a table called "Inflow of New Legal Permanent Residents, Top Five Sending Countries, 2012"sundaymorningstaple wrote:Thanks for the belly laugh this evening. Surely you jest!
