My PR application...

[SAgirlRuth]

....has been rejected...!!!!!



No explanation either, so I don't know what they didn't like about me. Agh!! I don't understand - I have been here a year and a half, earn north of $5k a month, am a qualified Chartered Accountant and work for one of the Big 4. What else do they want me to do?

Anyway, I'll just go around them. I'm marrying a PR next year, and then I'll get PR through him. My plans of not being an EP wil just have to wait a few months...

[Fat Bob]

Don't worry, my first one got rejected too.

Either wait until you can marry (though your PR status will only remain while his does), try again in 6 months, or ring and ask for a review of the case as you think you are prime PR material. Or ignore it altogether (like I did for 5+ years after my rejection!)

[baloo]

I know people who submitted the exact same application form 2 months after a rejection and had their application approved.

We got ours first time after only about a 5 weeks wait. We'd only come back to Singapore 4 months before.

This happened to my friend and he got his employer to write a letter saying he was the best thing since sliced bread and he got it on appeal

[Addadude]

Aside from the unspoken racial quota thingy that officialdom never admits to, the reason for the rejection could simply be because you have only been in Singapore 1.5 years. If I were you, I'd wait until you had at least 3 years under your belt and then reapply.

I wasn't even living or working in Singapore and I got PR

Aren't you married to a Singaporean though? (Or am I thinking of someone else?)

[BFG]

No, but seriously.

You wouldn't invite a Jaapie into your house, so why should Singapore?

PS - For all those of South Ifrican descent, and/or with a sense-of-the-ridiculous-bypass, I was just joshing...

Ok, so that might have helped my application

[azzam]

I think the supporting letters really help. I always get them when I'm dealing with this stuff.

[slinky]

'Course it did! Don't you know they want you to come back here and breed??

[Lichtgestalt]

I was only 9 months in Singapore and got PR, no special recommendation letter from the company, just that I work there. Must have been my looks then.... Got invited to citizenship after two years but declined that...
