PR application appointment date

[Sergei82]

Decided to try. Looking when the next appointment slot for PR application is available... middle of July!!!!!!!!!!
WTH???????!!!! Am I doing something wrong? Only to submit I have to wait for more than half a year????

[x9200]

You have to be a hunter. Check frequently on mornings/late nights, some slots get released.

[Sergei82]

So what's the situation? Millions of applicants are banging to get PR when there is only one poor officer to serve their needs?

[Wd40]

Wait for 1/2 year to apply and then another 1 year to get the result
Hope that until then both Singapore and you still exist the way you are.

Probably. Your guess is as good as ours. None of us work for ICA. But for $19 SGD I can give you a spreadsheet to tell you your chances based on your particulars.

[Sergei82]

I have very good particulars, thank you.

The only flaws of mine are: not married with SGrean, don't have a son.

[Sergei82]

Made for July 7, f##k it! And now I'll have to "hunt" for earlier dates as x9200 said. But I have only 2 tries to amend the date. What an exciting game!

[x9200]

This half year waiting period is to get you married and as you will unlikely see any results in 3 months this altogether provides the whole 9 month period to arrange for the offspring as well.
BTW, I have a better spreadsheet and for $15 it can predict your chances with ~50% accuracy. If you order 5 spreadsheets, I will get you 1 free. No particulars are needed.

I know, when mathematicians don't know something at all, they sometimes assume its probability to be 50% to simplify the model. So the probability I'll find an elephant when I return home is 50%.

[x9200]

Mine is based on quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle by Heisenberg.
(If you order 10 I will give you 1 free and 2 free vouchers for chicken rice in one executive coffee-shop in Chua Chu Kang)

You never know.

They may not be as good as you think.Go look at the recent Ang Mo couple making over $10k a month with a son even they were turned down. It was an American and a Georgian, he had patents, and worked in InfoSec (something MOM and the Gahmen says is in demand).

Don't worry. New appointments were appearing all the time when I was at this stage ~6 months ago.

Try the website in the mornings, say between 9am and 10am.

Is this a public story? Do you know of some search terms? Why on earth would the government not approve a couple like that?

[sundaymorningstaple]

Could be for a couple reasons. Where the spouse is from (Georgia) or the fact that Ang Mo's in general make poor PR's, especially if they work in 'C' level positions (or very close to C levels) in the Financial industries and they are often headhunted and will disappear at the drop of a hat for a 100 G raise. The Government realizes that and would figure that why give that person PR when the odds of the staying are small and eventually taking up Citizenship even less.
