no, still pending. i am guessing it will change once i have gone through the citizenship journey programme. it is still technically "In Principal Approval" until then.

After 1.5 years of wait, I got my citizenship!!! PR issued on Feb 5, 2014 Citizenship Application submitted on Feb 10, 2016 Citizenship Interview July 19, 2016 Citizenship IPA came on June 15, 2017 Now i just have to do the whole SG citizenship journey before the real approval :) Thanks guys for all...

OK, I did it. applied via eSC just now. Seems like the process has changed slightly. Anyway, the form is way shorter than PR application. Once completed, you get prompted to pay $100 and book an interview date, which is when I would be bringing my supporting documents it seems. The earliest intervie...

oh! so eSC is the only way to apply these days? got confused bc at this page you can still download the regular form, so I thought it was one or the other.. also the page referred to eSC as "additional mode of application" http://www.ica.gov.sg/e_services_overview.aspx?pageid=295 The form looks the ...

Hey guys, Does it matter whether I apply via eSC or In person in ICA? in the eSC web form, they seem to be asking more details (mainly in the Employment section where they asked for Company's Paid Up capita and annual turnover for past 3 years). I have decided I will be applying for Singapore Citize...

Yeah i know that definitely happens sometimes, but as an HR i felt like they should have set their employee's expectation correctly as 48 hours is definitely the best and fastest case scenario.

For me and other friends, our EP has taken anywhere between 1 - 3 weeks.

Yes job stated Korean as one of the requirement. Not sure if appeal was submitted in writing or person, but the employer claims to be in touch with MoM on daily basis. The problem is that at the beginning of the ep process, i felt like they didnt set my friend's expectation correctly. They told her ...

Oh yes the EP was rejected. I thought that was implied when i said "appeal". Apologies. The job had been posted for 3 months even before she applied and got it. The reason for rejection was bc they want the company to hire singaporean for the postion. But the position requires korean on business lev...

River valley and tiong bahru area fits the bill. But for a master bedroom you may have to shell out a bit more ($1800-2000) depending on the condo. Ours is $1600 for master but we got pretty lucky with the landlord.

Info i can find on this board seems to be mostly over a year old. I am asking for my friend. She was an EP holder but decided to move on to a new company. She has been in Singapore for 4 years and worked at the same company. She is korean and new salary is 6.5k+ per month with 4 years experience. Ho...

Yeah i totally agree, i was being too careless/inexperienced at the time. Before this I was used to renting apartment in the states where you deal with an actual property management who will fix up the units before handing over, instead of dealing with individual owners in singapore where mileage va...

We did go through the usual fixture check, but it was impossible to notice little things like the glass being held by blutack (we only noticed this after moving in and when the glass fell). I didn't really like being agressive but now i know why it's important to complain as soon as issues arise... ...

Ugh i wish i read and knew about this hread before. As you know from previous post i broke my lease due to mold issue and had to pay prorated agent fee. Now landlord is trying to deduct things from us, claiming some things are broken (like magnet behind door stopper). The condo was built in 1995, ne...

I'm not sure if this is an indication, but it seems to be easier to get PR these days.. - I got mine in December 2013, after being here for 4 years. Applied in June 2013. I am Indonesian Chinese. - A friend of mine got approved in Feb 2014 and applied June 2013. Graduated from local uni. Indian race...

I applied in June 2013, got it in December 2013. My sister applied hers in May 2014, got it today August 2014
