I used Option 1. After uploading Form 4A, it will be exactly same as Option 2, I believe. Ah... so in essence before payment, the uploaded documents are always there even if you close the page and come back before the 7 days time limit clears your drafts, so nothing to worry about? Though I guess t...

Hello, I'd like to ask if refreshing the page will affect the submission of documents; is anyone familiar with how the software/website works at ICA? Basically during my ePR submission two days ago, I had uploaded all the documents and was about to submit them, but in the middle of submitting, my p...

F&B? Think about it. Singaporean hate the F&B industries with a passion. The Chinese mentality here is that servitude to others is low class, therefore they will only do it when there is no other choice. So the government, trying to cut down on foreign workers, makes some of those on S and WPs even...

Alright I'm not here to start an argument and I apologize if I rubbed anyone the wrong way, but basically my point is that a person working in an area where higher expertise and knowledge is required should surely have a higher chance of approval if that's what you mean by competitive and that's th...

It's because someone else was using F&B as an example... when I say competitiveness, I assume it's the amount of time and study you need to be qualified for the job and that requirement is clearly lower for an F&B worker earning $2k/month compared to a degree holder from a local university here... ...

That's not what I meant, I'm just saying if you're basing it purely on competitiveness then it doesn't add up if an F&B worker gets approved whereas those with more qualifications don't. I still don't get it. Why compare yourself with an FnB staff ? They know how to cook in a country where the vast...

Seriously, is it even possible to bribe our way to NTU/NUS, if that's what you're implying... Singapore is like virtually free of corruption. I got into NTU purely on merit, I did well enough for O levels to get into a JC and well enough for my A levels to enter NTU's Chemical Engineering... that s...

U are good candidate for them. But giving PR to soon for you is a extra burden for company. Since the company will need give extra pay your cpf. Gov SG must fair to their own male citizen who serve 2 years NS. There are many external factors here, not only about our profile matters. The approval ch...

Salary isnt the main metric though. You can have someone earning as low as 2k working in F&B industry getting PR while other earning 20k a month in finance industry getting rejected Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk With that being said, why did SMS only give me a 50% chance rate of success though...
