What's SWW?

Re: Issue with ICA
 

ICA only recognise Singapore ROM cert cos they have a stupid mindset of in other countries, paper can be easily obtain using money. If u have ROM in Singapore and your wife got problem, they just go after you. Simple as that.

How I know... cos I also thinking of the same thing and did ask ICA before.... HAHAHA

Re: Issue with ICA
 

I beg to differ to seek help fm your MP. It depends who is your MP. If you are in opposition wards, then forget it !!! But if you are in Minister wards especially Ah Liong and ah seng ward, then your MP appeal letter carries some heavyweigh as it is big bosses asking them. So it all depends on the ward you are staying. Thats my 2 cents worth.:D

Re: Issue with ICA
 

So you're suggesting we get an ROM date from Singapore as well?

Re: Issue with ICA
 

So we can't actually go to a different town and seek help from another MP? Do heavyweights like PM Lee still attend Meet the People sessions?

Best is to ROM in Singapore, then with the cert apply your wife for LTSVP and then apply PR together.

To get all these approved best to have at least 3 years of good CPF contribution.

Not sure how your gf can get SVP 90 days now?

Re: Issue with ICA
 

That's not true. Marriage certificates from other countries are also recognised in Singapore but before submission to the authorities, the certificate need to be :-
a) notarised;
b) endorsed by the embassy/high commission of the country that issued the certificate; and
c) endorsed by our MFA. :D

Seeking assistance from your MP/Minister does not mean that your case will be favourable. On the contrary, it may have adverse effect instead.

When an appeal from the MP / Minister is received, the file is pulled and tagged and be monitored closely. Details are scrutinised and background checks are done more thoroughly thru overt and covert means. More often than not, negative information turns up that does not help the appellant's case. If any shit or dirt is found, MP /Minister oso dun want the appeal to succeed.

In a normal case, the officer will just browse thru the file and stamp according to the tabulated guideline (There is SOP guideline to follow). No officer in his right mind wants to do extra work and koret here koret there. But no choice if appeal letter comes in.

So bros dun think see MP / Minister for assistance will make your case stronger. It will only make the case officer tulan and koret all your shit. :D

Re: Issue with ICA
 

There is a tabulated formula for approval of SVP / LTSVP that is used by the ICA officers. They cannot suka suka give approval for Xx number of days. There is a limit to the total sum of days that a visitor from XX country is allowed to stay in singapore. Once the limit is used up, sorry you have to wait for the next cycle to start again (usually after 60 days). :D

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Go back and try again after 60 days. ;)

Re: Issue with ICA
 

No need to check here check there. ICA is under Home Team. All the government bodies is oredi connected. :D

Re: Issue with ICA
 

The total number of days alloted to nationals of different countries varies accordingly. Some countries have more days, some have less. ;) But dun ask me why, go ask the policy makers :p
