Less than 3 years, chance will be very low

I'm going to go against the grain and also against what I've preached on here for decades (literally). I'd say give it a try. While the country is flooded with excellent IT personnel, what you possess is race, Ivy education, a pretty handsome basic salary for only one year in country. Single (meaning marriageable) and possibly still young enough. Probably worth a go, but without any expectations of success (There may well still be a Santa Claus - next year). Question though. Are you ABC or naturalized? I think if ABC you chances will be better unless naturalized as a pre-teen. Otherwise, 2 to 3 years before 1st application as noted above by SF.

Does ICA nowadays send both email and snail mail for approval/rejection?

Only email (to my sponsor, I didn't receive anything). Not sure if you can request for snail mail.

When my hubby’s PR was approved last year in 2022, we saw it was approved in the system when we woke up in the morning. Then found the snail mail of AIP documents in the letterbox later that day.
No email was sent to either of us about the result.
However… I did email ICA an updated payslip and occupation for my hubby a few weeks before the result. And on the day of the result, an ICA staff replied the PR was approved and to wait for the AIP in the mail.

Snail mail for rejection.
Approval is email, then documents later on. But you will get the email first. If no email, and you have snail mail - then that’s a rejection.

I got no email, just an acceptance letter, and I don't check my postbox that often so I only realised it a week or so later!
