Since she is well settled in her school, I don't want to disturb her. I understand that naturalized citizens have to regist...

Hi all, We have been living in singapore for 2 years now; last 6 months as PR. We are seriously considering taking up citizenship here, plan to be here for long; probably forever. An advise on when should we apply for Citizenship would be helpful. Some details about us. We are an Indian family of 3,...

No, our PR has been approved

[quote="Singapore"]Thank you SMS. There is no harm in trying. I have one more question.

Thanks for these interesting comments Revhappy, while your comments do make sense, but still seems to be away from reality. My wife moved to Singapore in Aug last year and had been "aggresively" looking for job, with no success until last week. In last 1 year, this was the first timeshe was called f...

Thanks SMS for a quick reply.

Regarding the period in singapore, is 15 months too long or too short a period to apply for EPEC?

My understanding was you can apply for EPEC without living in Singapore as well.

Hello Mad Scientist, Yes, my family is in Singapore and I ve applied PR for all of us.

Hello SMS, what is surprising is that after I have provided this information in the PR application form, it is being requested again. Is this a normal?

Thank you both for your prompt replies

Cheers

Hello Friends

I am a P1 pass holder living in Singapore for 1 year. I applied for a PR in December. After waiting for 4 months, I have received a letter requesting for my family's details.

Any idea what does this signify? How much more time will the PR take, if it is on the cards.

Cheers

Thanks mad scientist and SMS. I am an Indian. Does this fact has a bearing on your reply and "my chances"?

Hi, based on my discussion with various PRs, I understood that I can apply for PR after 6 months of being in Singapore. I went thru some posts in this forum and was surprised to read that probability of getting a PR is "practically" non existent, if applied before 1-2 yrs. I am a CPA holding a P1 pa...
