Applying for citizen alone vs family
Applying for citizen alone vs family
Hi there. Sorry if this has already been asked and answered. However I trawled through 5 pages and couldn't find a similar situation
I plan to apply for citizenship for myself and my 2 children. My husband doesn't want to give up his citizenship and so wants to remain a SPR
My background
SPR 1 year
Malaysian Chinese 37 years old
2 girls (2 and 4 years )
Doctor medical and phd
Working in Singapore general hospital
Salary in excess of 10k
Contract with the hospital for 3 years
What are the chances of applying on my own vs as a family unit. My husband really does not want to give up his Malaysian citizenship for sentimental reasons
Thanks in advance

I'd say probably pretty good. But not by anything I can put a finger on. Everything is good with that one exception being not a family unit. I still think you will be successful. Give it a try. The worst they can do is say no.

How long ago was that?
Personally, I would say it is an exercise in futility unless you are Malaysian Chinese and even then, wouldn't give it too much chance. My honest opinion. I can blow smoke if you would prefer.
