PR Application Cases

NTU MSc, came to Singapore 2010. 1st application 2014, R&D engineer salary 3600, rejected in 3 months. Married March 2017, wife is PR. Submitted application end of month with wife as sponsor. Early April ICA requested parents' info. Late June changed jobs, salary increased to 4500. Wife became citizen. Emailed ICA to update both changes. Early August status changed to withdraw, a week later changed back to pending, then approved September 12. With spouse sponsor it's definitely easier. Those without local poly or public university degree can take note - otherwise getting PR with just MSc is quite hard. Volunteer work, R&D, salary below 8000 - none of that really matters.

Local O Level + Poly + NUS bachelor's, 26, salary $3150. Applied with wife 27, salary $1500+600. ROM in Singapore January. Parents' info requested at 5 months 20 days. Fathers civil servant, mothers retired. Still 'Being Processed' 2 months after supplement. Wrote ICA 3+ months later, still processing. After 12 months — approved. Estimate: singles 6-8 months, couples 12+. March applicants were delayed. Wife's WP cancelled 3 days after PR, she returned to China — no issues, just need valid visa during process. Proxy IC collection only at ICA counter. Good luck everyone.
