Re: Seeking Advice: PR Application Pending Beyond 6 Months
You might be right, but in my case, I got PR for my wife and kids after 7 applications and 6 appeals, a total of 13 tries.
Finally got it approved on the 6th appeal.
So yes, appeals do work. Don’t give up.
But make sure there’s some change in your circumstances before you submit appeal, otherwise, the chances are almost zero. You can see more details in my other post.

Re: Citizenship pink IC collection
](*,)
You are supposed to arrange for collection of your IC (and passport) yourself from the post office via the SingPass app within, I think, the first month of completing formalities and swearing the oath of allegiance. The only thing you will get at the citizenship ceremony is your Certificate of Citizenship.
I collected my IC and passport (you have to apply for each separately) from the post office less than a week after I competed the formalities.
I strongly advise that you call ICA immediately (their contact details are at the bottom of the ICA website) and explain your situation. Ask them you talk you through the next steps. I am not sure that your temporary IC slip is even valid any more.
You need to settle this straight away.

Citizenship pink IC collection
Hi,
i have done my formality in Jan. I got to know from various blog or sharing sources that the pink IC will be given during the ceremony together with the certification. is that the same process now in 2025?
i am still holding the IC temporary slip and actually is also waiting for the ICA to notify me for IC collection.
The status in myICA is still showing application has been submitted as of today, it is about 5 months already. so i am just waiting for it.
The temporary slip also stated if the IC is not collected within 3 months from the issued date, it will be destroyed.
Should i book the appointment to collect the IC at singpost?
or do i need to redo the IC?

My helper looking for new employer
Would anyone like to take over my Filipino helper? She is 47yo. She has been a personal friend for the last 19 years and recently employed as my helper. She has worked for Japanese, Australian, British and Iranian family. She has a natural charm with children and is a good cook. She keeps my house cleaner than any other help I have received. She has a positive attitude and is proactive. Throughout our 19 years relationship, I have never heard her complain about works. Instead she takes initiative to go beyond the work instructions given her. She is also very honest. Once in 2009, I forgot to check the pockets before putting them into the laundry. Melanie stumbled upon a stack of $1000 and returned it to me. As it was a loose stack, she could easily have taken a few notes or even the whole stack. The temptation must have been great. Instead she chose what was right, and not the easy. For her love of God! This is only 1 of many instances of her honesty. And over the years, she impresses .....

Has anyone applied for business grants?
Hey gang,
I've been running a company since 2018 and I'm looking to pivot from consultancy and into AI. I've already started the process by taking on AI related projects, building a community and launching a YouTube channel.
AI apps, video editing and subscription services are getting expensive and the bills are adding up but my main goal is to increase the community to 1000 paid subscribers (currently at 81) and scale up the video content on YouTube by creating 1 video per day (that's how I drive people into my community).
I had a look on the Sg Business Portal and there's a few grants on there but I'm not sure which ones are relevant. I did ask my accountant but she doesn't know either.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
