Feshakov, I empathize with your situation. Hope for the best outcome for your and your family. The system here is rather unforgiving at times, so hope you have a happy end to all this.

<You are not some subcontinental trying to flagrantly break Singapore rules> Really sorry to OP for her situation. Diversion on the thread but the above seems like casual racism to me? Or are we talking about some published statistics of what Subcontinental people are doing with rules? There are rul...

"I thought PR application is only for those who have not decided whether they will go for citizenship" The stated position seems to be otherwise? Most references I come across on different forums mention PR as a "stepping stone" to Citizenship. If someone does not apply for a PR because he/she would...

You did not apply for PR for your son? And instead directly applied for Citizenship? I know of friends who want to be either "all in" or "all out" for their children. i.e they will have sons on LTVP and try for citizenship but will never apply for PR in the interim.

All m...

Only based on anecdotal accounts.All things being same, Malaysian Indians are higher in pecking order.

OP, from my experience too with 4+ employers in Singapore, it is normal to issue experience/employment/relieving letters. (with some it is standard part of the process and some they do on request).

You can try italki dot com ..I have tried them before ...and its fun if you are ok with online conversations and lessons.. there are many professional teachers and community tutors to choose from in different budgets.. alternately there are many others who would do language exchange for free.. lesso...

to work in Singapore until June 2018 as part of the bond. During this period, EP>PR is already completed. 1 year of REP is on the way to completion. Their citizenship application is already submitted. Upon getting a SC, the applicant already has a job offer in the US (also disclosed by him) the can...

I see, they are your roots I presume ? Is that in the Indian language Indians speak ? Yes..I am a person of Indian origin :).. 'jana gana mana' is India's national anthem..written in Bengali which is one of the many languages spoken in India.. The last census of India recorded that people communica...

Thanks for the education. Not just green card lottery..even regular green card queue system is also based on country of birth of applicant and spouse..please educate me if I am wrong.. so don't use their ignorance as an excuse to convince yourself of doing/saying what you want to do. Keep emotions a...
