Hi Downgrader,
I m always surfing this coffee shop talk but never really ever made a reply, but i guess u must be desperate to know the procedure/process of how she can be a spore citizen, maybe i can share my experience with u.
I have been working in china for the last 9 years, i have a beijing wife and my child is 10 months old, we stay in shanghai and have been happily married.
firstly u have to get married in spore then after u obtain your ROM cert u can proceed to do the PR application at ica somewhere near lavender rd.
please visit the website for more info
http://app.ica.gov.sg
Actually the procedure and document required is abit troublesome cos she have to produce her birthcert and other educational cert to strengthen her chance of getting the PR, then u have to go to one of the authorise place at the supreme court in one of the basement room to get this certs translate to english.
Next u have to produce your income tax, CPF statements, your employment letter etc together with all that i have written above with your ROM cert to the counter, result will be noticfy by post in a month time.
I must warn u that if u are not contributing CPF or are jobless at the moment ,the chances of her getting the PR will be slim. If u fail your application, u can always write in to appeal and resubmit your application again. As the government is worried that some of this chinese gal are paying sporean man just to help them get the PR,that is why if u are jobless, your wife chances of getting the PR will be very slim, wat u can do if your appeal application is also rejected, u can actually go to your estate MP and ask them to write a letter to ica but u have to convince the MP that u and your wife are truly and sincerely married couple .
After your wife finally got her PR, she have to maintain 1 year or 2 years( i cant remeber exactly) stay in singapore inorder to change to PR to citizenship.
well, that is wat i know, hope it helps.
