QUOTE(guitarfreak17 @ Nov 4 2024, 02:12 PM) Hi everyone, would like to check, is it worth submitting an appeal email to ICA for my gf’s (chinese malaysian) PR application that just got rejected? The application was made on the new system in July 2024. She works in the banking sector and has been in SG since June 2023, both her siblings are PR, uncle & auntie are singaporean. Appreciate any advice sifus can offer, thanks in advance! Siblings, uncle aunty all irrelevant. In banking sector as what? position, qualification ? |

QUOTE(plouffle0789 @ Nov 4 2024, 03:01 PM) From what I know, appeal applications are usually rejected. My friend also applied for PR and just got approved. He applied two years ago but was unsuccessful, so he only got PR after applying a second time. He has an Employment Pass (EP) all the time. However, he regularly transfer SGD to MYR and send the money to Malaysia for his housing loan, and his SGD deposit in Singapore bank is very low. Does your girlfriend also have a low deposit in her Singapore bank? So, are you also a Singapore PR? Wouldn’t say that her deposit is low in SG bank. Most of her savings are in SGD actually, although there’s some commitments in MY that she transfers money on monthly basis. Oh well, guess just have to try again next time. I applied for PR around the same time as her actually. Not sure if i might get a different outcome 😂. I’m in construction under M&E consultant. |

QUOTE(malz89 @ Nov 4 2024, 05:09 PM) Could it be that she's in a Competitive field? I heard many finance getting rejected too. Usually get it on 2nd try We heard something similarly to this too, I also suspect it has something to do with how slow the salary goes up, compared to other industries, too competitive definitely |

Oh does close relatives’ ties to SG not contribute to the application at all then? She’s an assistant service manager on EP. Worked in MY since 2018, came SG in June 2023. |

Hence, likely her position may not high enough currently to be qualified for a PR given that so many competitors that may have an edge over her. Just reapply when she gets promoted or something. I'd you're in a niche sector, securing a PR is quite easy. |

I'd you're in a niche sector, securing a PR is quite easy. Yeah, think so. Her colleague (also chinese malaysian) also got rejected recently. Would you say that M&E consultant in construction is considered as a nichie sector? 🤔🤔 |

Alternatively, you guys could get married and apply together. Haha .. how long have you guys been working? Although the minimum requirement is 6 months, yet that's just the borderline. Can try applying again about 2 years down the road. Anyway, quite a number of /k actually got an offer. You're the first rejection iinm. |

This is a big milestone for you. Don’t worry too much about your girlfriend’s application—if you both decide to get married, you can sponsor her PR application as your spouse, which will significantly increase her chances. Wishing you both all the best! This post has been edited by plouffle0789: Nov 18 2024, 08:26 PM |
