You’ve got some time, but you’ll be surprised how quickly college age comes. My kids might both be starting college this fall. My wife is thinking of having my son take a high school exemption exam and skip the last two years - go straight into junior college (community college) in the U.S. He will probably have better options as a transfer student in California than trying to get in as a high school graduate (acceptance rates are more than double). After what our daughter went through, it should also be less stressful. Wow! We don't have these kind of pathways in the Indian education syste ..read more

Next application we have few updates. From August my wife will start her Phd in NUS (Not saying that this will turn the table but just an update from our side). It is good to have something to plan on improving. However, dont be mislead that doing a PhD in a local university will always lead a pr approval. It really depends on the area on which the PhD is done if it aligns with SGs future development requirements. Not all local bachelors/PhDs get approved for pr. Since, your spouse's field of study seems related to life science/ psychology, i am not sure how ICA views doing a PhD in a such ..read more

Your mind is set, just go ahead and apply. You won't hit the lottery if you don't buy the ticket. Seems like it took 7 months of being outside Singapore to realise how valuable Singapore was to you. If you're looking for reassurance, you probably will not get it here. If I go one step further, I infer that you're Indian, female, probably single (or married with no kids), about 35-40years old. Of course i could be wrong - but based on the inference, I'd say it's not so likely an ICA officer will look at your application and click approve. You can take a look at his second post and then y ..read more

May I know where can I find the local address is mandatory because I have checked all faq on ica website but I couldn’t find it Secondly we can sacrifice but real reason is not want to save on rent. My husband is Greek and he stay with me in Malaysia with spouse pass. If Malaysia immigration do surprise check and find out we are not living together he can lose his spouse pass Hence I was surprised when you mentioned you could submit the PR application without a local address, and the application is even "pending" Statistics: Posted by Pantsgrenadier — Thu Apr 18, 2024 4:49 am ..read more
