We applied for PR in SG last 2010, applied as a couple, just few months after getting married. The results came out more than 3 months after our application and turned out to be NEGATIVE!
Within 2 years, we've stopped thinking of applying for PR again. When Aleina came into our lives, we've decided to apply for PR again. But before doing that, we've to furnish all our documents first especially our passports etc.
PR application can only be done via e-appointment, walkin is not allowed. 3 years back walkin application is allowed then. I checked on the ICA website to set an appointment for PR application. To my surprise, most of the time are already fully booked! I was just expecting that there may be only few who would like to apply for PR! The latest schedule I could find is April 16, 17 and on wards. I've choose April 16 @ 9:30am. This time, will be applying together with my baby Aleina.
The night before, we've prepared all our documents, sorted it accordingly and made some photocopied as listed in their requirements here. For work pass holders or skilled workers who want to apply for PR, you may download the application here. If your want to set appointment to apply PR, you may click here.
April 16, 2013. We woke up early morning. Pack up Aleina's things - diaper, wipes, food, milk, etc. We've asked Irish to come with us coz after this appointment, I need to go to office to work, same thing with Albert. Our appointment is 9:30am, we arrived in the ICA by 9:00am. We immediately proceed in the 4th floor (if I remember it correctly) coz we still need to get a photography to be pasted in our application form. There's queue in the photograph, but not that long. We managed for a photograph session before our scheduled time, and Aleina is a little cooperative in picture taking. Albert registered our appointment via kiosk and get a queue number. After few minutes of waiting, we're entertained past 9:30pm. Documents presentation was just quick, at least we've managed to submit all our documents completely with photocopies as required. It only takes about 20 minutes for presentation, no interviews, just to show original copy of the documents then submit the photocopies. Since I was not the primary application, I also included my 6 months payslips together with my Income Tax Documents for the past 3 years.

Once completed, I headed back to my work, while Irish, Albert and my baby travel together and separated in Seranggoon MRT - where will be easy for Irish to go back home.
It will be 3 months, 6 months and even more waiting... Waiting is just fine, just hoping for a positive results. As I've dream of this for my family, for the most important person in my life - my child, my Aleina.
