My PR application...
....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...

Re: My PR application...
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!)

Re: My PR application...
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

Re: My PR application...
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.

Re: My PR application...
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...

Re: My PR application...
I think the supporting letters really help. I always get them when I'm dealing with this stuff.

Re: My PR application...
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...
