Thanks for the advice dear, however, things were different when I had accepted the offer. Unexpected things happened within 2 months and I just can't roll back the offer and start afresh. I am not looking to abuse the system per se by bringing her every now and then, however, just wanted to know whether two such trips , let's say of 3 months after a gap of 6 months in between is feasible? A parent making a social visit twice a year with proper gap shouldn't raise a flag? or could it? For example, in the US, most of the parents visit for 6 continuous months and then take a gap of 6 months. I also know that it is discretionary and depends on the visa officer at the port. But still, they are human as well and can allow things to a certain level. I am just asking about that level..JR8 wrote:You can't get her an LTVP, so you're looking at misusing SVPs to get her max time with you in SG?

You should have considered how your mother might accompany you everywhere, before selecting where to move to. Instead, now you're trying to retro-fit that requirement via desperate means, and it won't work...

Therefore the most she can stay is for a maximum of two months(30 days and a single 29 day extension? If she comes back again on another 30 days visa, it's doubtful whether she will be able to get an extension as it will be obvious that you are trying to scam the system. At them point she will probably be told she will not be able to return to Singapore for a minimum of six months.
not just at passport control, but also prior at the us embassy when you applied and interviewed for the 6 month visa (with actual humans).RockyRambo wrote:...For example, in the US, most of the parents visit for 6 continuous months and then take a gap of 6 months.

1. possibly, maybe. you may not want to hear the answer that's been given to you, or perhaps you think your mom might get lucky. who knows? if you have nothing to lose, why not take the chance?RockyRambo wrote:...Ok, if she comes back after 6 months for another 2 month stay , could that be acceptable?
Additionally, is it possible for me to approach MOM and request them for a 'dependent pass' for her? See, I respect the system, however, if the system terms a spouse and a child as dependent, the system should appreciate that a single parent can also be a dependent. If one checks, the AU PR process, it calls a person dependent if he/she is financially and socially/emotionally dependent on the primary candidate. Does, MOM hear
appeals like these?
Can my company do anything in this regard?
I know, MOM doesn't like immigration lawyers.
Oh! Are you sure about this? Well, I understand everyone's comments above and appreciate that it is up to a country to decide its immigration laws, etc. and I'll be an expat/outsider to it, however, it will be great if that's feasible with giving due respect to the restrictions posed by the system.ecureilx wrote:for cases like above ..
