Just wanted to share the timeline of my wifes PR approval. I started working in SG under EP in late 2022, applied PR after 6 months working and got it approved after 15 months, in mid of 2024. Got married in July 2024, wifes LTVP approved in August 2024, applied PR December 2024 and approved in Jun 14 2025.

I will advice anyonte to just apply if eligible, theres no need to wait 2 years etc. The worst is it gets rejected. My citizenship is pending now, will update if its approved.

It’s a well known fact that M’sian Chinese are held to a different standard for ICA applications. Just because it works for you doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for others… Don’t give applicants who aren’t M’sian Chinese false hope.

Not giving hope to others, im merely sharing a datapoint. there are some people who probably can get it easily too with same profile as me but wait a few years due to reading some advice here generalizing that most should wait a few years after marriage to apply for pr. Point is u dont lose much by applying, only 100$. there is no limited number of tries.
