In 2006 applied with wife+ son, got more questions from ICA about employment details, could not provide due to nature of job(Q pass).
Left country in 2007(again due to nature of job).
Came back again with famil in 2009 (P pass).
Due to unsettled tax issue, which was pending since 2006, stopped at airport and not to leave the country.(issues got complicated with IRAS). Later similar issue happend again

Applied PR with wife alone again in 2012, got rejected with in 3 months.
Applied with wife+ sons, got approval with in 4 months.
My point is, even with many disadvantages our SPR got approved in January 2014.
When we applied the last time, whatever the negative points we had, we tried to explain in our covering letter and we put everything in an open manner and trustfully answered all our negative issues.
Hope this helps somebody out there, who is looking for a solution under similar situation.[/b]
