PRC marriage help

khyber_pass · #1 05-07-2009, 06:16 PM

Dear all

Ive read "Need Info on PRC Visa etc" and "regarding PRC wife & visa !" threads. Have some questions that still need bros here to help. Sorry if they have been answered before, radar didnt pick them up!

Anyways some background info: I graduated from one of the 3 unis here. GF is similarly a China uni grad. Went to China for a few months and got to know her throughout that time. Came back to Singapore, and still maintained strong contact. She has graduated for one year already, and has worked in some big-name media companies. However, her command of English is poor. Anyway, like they say, love has no boundaries. I cherished the times spent in China, and would want to bring her to Singapore. She has indicated she is very willing to consider this step.

1) My question is, if she were to join me in Singapore, are there any feasible white collar jobs she can take on? A pay of 1.5K-1.8K would be reasonable I feel. White collar because I would be able to spend more time with her. She has a degree in arts and tourism. Proficient in calligraphy, chinese painting (not much use in Singapore though, it seems

2) If I were to marry her, is it easy for her to obtain PR?

Thank you so much bros
Cheers

Just give her half of everything you own and get it over with.

It'll be a lot cheaper if you do it now rather than to wait for her to rip you off in a few years time.

Some crap are just not meant for the eyes and ears..

Anyway, good for you on finding your other-half across thousands of kilometres away from each other. Finding a job for your GF who has a graduate degree from China is absolutely not a problem. I've seen and helped a couple of China uni-grads gotten similar jobs and have salary of between $1200 to about $1500. So don't worry on that part. HR websites have lots plenty.

As for getting PR for her, I believe a bro had mentioned before on one of the thread on how to process in getting PR. There are however 2 ways to get PR. One is by her own credits meaning she got an S-pass work permit working in Singapore for at least 2 years before she qualifies for PR status, or the other would be by marriage and application for PR status. No matter, I believe this is what is required:

. A letter from your employer stating your occupation, length of service, salary.
. Her education degree certification.
. Your ROM certificate.

I kinda of thinking I've left out something.. Hope that this will help..

* Hahaha! Found it at last! Here's the links that will help you.

hi bro Gaofar

thanks for your encouraging reply! i do recognise theres alot of bad prc stories. have read threads in this forum and was prepared for some backlash. but i think that is normal... anyway, end of day, every rs is different and i guess its really for ppl who are wearing the shoes themselves to discern. even so, it feels good to receive encouraging and helpful replies, and i really appreciate your response(:

braddah you said you get to know her in a few months. that means you base descion on knowing her for only a few months. rest of time you return to sg but can you account for her activities when you were not with her? what did she do? degree mean nothing. do not assume with a degree she not out to scam you braddah. do you have prenup set up?

Gaofar · #6 05-07-2009, 09:27 PM

Woah bro NAL, what's with that load of sarcasm? People just wanted to find out ways on how to find jobs and how to get PR, not asking if others should he should be doubting his relationship..

Being a few months of knowing each other so what? Time does not dictate whether you should be together or not. So what if he's away from China and not knowing what she's doing without him near her? You won't have your girl stick to you like glue 24/7 just so you can keep watch on her would you? This is what we call faith. Degree means nothing? It means a lot in finding a decent job. Do not assume that with a degree she is out to scam you? We could easily turn this around and say that do not assume with a degree she will scam you right?

Come on, is there really any need for these cynical views?

Be cool alright?

khyber_pass · #7 05-07-2009, 11:07 PM

NAL: i understand where you are coming from; i know the assumptions behind your perspective. well, anyway, during these months we stay together everyday and go out meeting her friends etc. i can list all the examples to show my faith and understanding of her, but i think that is not necessary. if i need external validation, i guess then there is no faith and trust.

nonetheless, with my background, i think i can make a decent judgment of people whom i need to be on my guard with. anyway, since i accept responsibility for my actions, i am willing to shoulder any consequences too.

one can always be distrustful for the sake of "being on guard", and "not wanting to hurt oneself". but i think you recognise too that it is not healthy to always have that mentality. paradoxically, being always on guard although may lead one to be not unhappy, it does not lead one to achieve happiness.

nonetheless, thanks for your concern.

gaofar: thanks for your kind words bro. appreciate it from the bottom of my heart

Dear Brother,
We are in quite similar situation, except that I know her for some years now.
Wish you all the best !

Many locals tend to stereotype PRC women with vice and scam, which is also due largely to the negative reports of local media too. I know many PRC female friends who work in decent jobs and do not resort to vice for a living.

There is a saying 'one type of rice breed hundred types of people'. I agree on this point. Surely, there are bad eggs among the population of PRC women. But can anyone out there guarantee that our local women are all good? Else, there wouldn't be any complaints about local women in this forum as well. If both local women and foreign women are 'no good', then who is good? The men?

Any country have good or bad gals. Just keep your eyes open, don't judge by nationality.

Bro,
From my point of view in my own job for bout 5+ years.

To get a resonable $1.5-$1.8k is hard if the person is a PRC, due to the lacking in English,not writing & reading, as some are good, just that the talking as their environment does not force them to use english everyday.
But again, not say its not possible, i ever bring in some to work @ tuas, the HeiLongJiang gal speak english with British accent, salary bout $2.6k, now also PR. You hv to think from a SG boss 现实 view, they want low wages worker, work many pay little.Employ elites also pay little, can say basic salary $2.5k gv MOM see,even Q1 passes say gv $5k per celander mth,but actual fact may not be that.Its a very grey area.
Unless, its a good company that is really into hiring overseas talents.

Marry her? can or cannot get PR depends on you(quite possible). Your income tax powerful or not, how many years? sata doctors also can write rubbish during the check-up. I hv clients that pay income tax amount more then wat i earn in a year, their wife get PR super fast, last time i think is $ issue but few months ago, heard 同行 got a case , Husband income tax every year pay bout $3k+, but wife is Viet from SaNong, 1 year + liao still cannot get PR.Reject till now..from ICA also cannot find anything.

In theory is cannot.
She marry you liao, lawful wife, correct.

Reason
You hv to count the time frame, u marry the lady.
1st, most prob she's under Social Visit Pass, then extend the stay to let u 准准got to ROM.

2nd, after ROM, she theorcaly is still under Social Visit pass, then you will pay $120/- to try apply Long Term Visit Pass using your 3 years income tax,proof of current work,wife got see doc,cpf,rom cert, watever docs.

Long Term Visit Pass cannot work de..If kanna caught, will be ask to go MOM @ kimSeng block F for investigation, very sian one...Which is why there is the sponsership for wife...

4th, ppl will then come out with funny ways to get PR for wife, from declaring fake income tax as sole propiertor(tis need planning 2 years), or pay 1 year cpf in advance(planning also), to one of the more high end>born child then get lawyer(to kuasha things to child)> then using husband & son citizenship apply mother PR, many lah, some i see liao also WAH BIANG eh..but some works..

Good Luck.

Edited:But if somehow is a case of the PRC got child liao, and a SG person wan to marry, then is use another way, like adopt son then apply.
See your PM.That is a better way..
