Re: Frustration Over PR Rejection

Out of curiosity @malcontent, how does one get in touch with the processing officer directly at the ICA building? Won't they stop you from meeting them given how busy they are?
❱❱

All I know is that my wife simply goes down there and asks to speak to an officer regarding her case, and she has been able to do so on all 4 occasions I mentioned. She has complained that it takes a lot of time and ain’t easy. That last time she did it was when her REP renewal was taking too long, and we had upcoming travel plans (they approved it on the spot in that case). That was maybe 4 years ago.

For the OP who is still recently wed, I doubt going down there would do any good because we know why it was rejected.

Family ties will look at the Singaporean sponsor. You didn’t mention if your spouse is employed, her occupation/salary, any criminal record, etc.

[mention]digitalfruits18[/mention] Why are you reviving numerous threads where the poster have not logged in for years? It’s unlikely they will log in again.

Re: Retirement Funding Optimization

I still have at least 20 years to put this in place, but at the moment my thought is to project how much I think I need every month at retirement age, buffer it and base my total retirement portfolio value off this monthly figure. Then do a 3 percent withdrawal. This would not factor in cpf which would be an additional income on top of the SWR.

Of course, these are just ideas and might change - the other factor would be to have a more conservative asset allocation, focusing on high interest accounts, MMFs and so on to generate at least the bulk of the required monthly income.
