Congrats!

Did u apply after a year or they offered it to you?
*
No, it was not so smooth as I think. I started to work after my final exam in April 2009. I was too excited to apply for PR then as I heard from many said that Msian can obtain PR easily, even with less than 6 months of working experiences (that was b4 Spore population hit 5 millions in August 2009). For those applied after June 2009, I hardly heard good news.

1st Time
29 Aug 2009 => Got rejected on 27 Nov 2009 cry.gif heart-broken

2nd Time
19 Jun 2010 => Got rejected on 5 Dec 2010 cry.gif heart-broken again, very sad
Appealed on Jan 2011 => ....................


Received approval letter just now, finally icon_rolleyes.gif

What's the difference between appeal ? and new application after your 2nd time.
I also applied in Jan 2011 but got rejected. Started working here end 2009.
*
I appealed for my second time PR application. smile.gif

Appeal: Online booking for an appointment, submit appeal letter together with supporting documents (salary increment letter...).
Re-apply: Online booking for an appointment, submit all documents, just like the first application.

All the best and good luck smile.gif Never give up.

heard that once you applied 3 times and got rejected, you cant apply PR within a time range.
is that true?
Luckily u manage to get it approved on your 3rd try.
*
I heard that before, I am not sure how true is it.
BTW, it's considered my 2nd try brows.gif appealed on second application.

why u choose appeal and not new application ? cause your salary increment is very significant ? or you got any clues on why u got rejected ?
*
i appealed after getting my bonuses and salary increment. smile.gif

im not sure, it could be due to im still new (< 2 years working experiences), perhaps my low salary cry.gif , i moved to another place in June 2010 (residential)...neway, just my guesses, i could be wrong.

I have a question.
I understand that there is a cooling period between application for PR which starts from the rejection date, right?
So IF we appeal and got rejected again, the cooling period starts from the application rejection date or appeal rejection date? :S
*
most of the time, it's stated clearly in the letter. mine was stated in the last paragraph in the rejection letter "u may wish to re-apply in 2 years time"...after 1.5 years, i got it tongue.gif
