All About Getting Priority Registration

[zakashi]

I checked with the MOE. They replied me that as long as the child is a Singapore citizen, they will accept it. It is not necessary to have both parent to be SC. I scatched my head.??? We still have to fight with the PR. Most of my friend’s spouse is still a PR and one of them is SC. Even with the "good" news, we still have to fight with the PRs. Don’t forget that they are outnumbered us even one of their spouse is a SC.

Does anyone know how long to get Singapore citizenship? Besides the issue of citizenship, I believe many are thinking into renting an address and that will increase the rental fee.

Hi Zakashi,

It takes at least half a year to obtain SC base on our past experience with SIR.
I conclude that properties around good/Branded schools will see a surge of more genuine Sporean buyers/renters given that it now favour SC more.

Thanks!

This could have happen in earlier years, whereby our govt grants SC to PRs easily. In recent mths, what i heard is that if only 1 parent apply to convert from PR to SC, together with the kids, it is usually rejected. Already heard of 3 rejected cases that applied 6 mths ago.

yes, this is what i heard of lor. the officer conducting the interview also up front ask, how come only 1 parent convert. :evil: but of coz the ones i heard are not those super rich atas PRs lah. juz avg working class like me.

I am referring to several of my friends who are holding top professional. A child is a SC with only one parent convert to SC. The other remain as PR. This is true. They also received baby bonus! Ha! Ha!

usually in cases like these, i guess is the mother who convert into SC. The father remains PR.

was the SC approved recently? my colleague's submission got approved in 2010, juz in time for P1 registration in 2011. but the new 2011 applications i heard of mostly got rejected when only 1 parent applied.

From now on, PRs will take the PV & grassroot route which has priority over Phase 2C SC in P1 registration. I think the number of applicants under Phase 2B will swell.

So will SC has priority over PR in phase 2B?
