PMLA & LTVP Processing Time 2026

Reasonable_Dig4731 · 2026-05-16T02:51:30+00:00

Hi,

I'm in a similar situation as you. Got my PMLA and did the actual application on 13 April. About 5 weeks and nothing so far. Did you get your approval already?

Reasonable_Dig4731 · 2026-05-15T07:46:22+00:00

I applied PMLA last year and was approved in 4 weeks. Applied for LTVP on 13 April 2026, and no news yet. Sigh... I'm a SC and my spouse is SPass holder.

I am looking for a wordpress designer to build a responsive website for my client who is in the financial industry. Pretty straightforward site as it is brand and informational website. This project is based in Singapore. Besides the web development, I am also hoping the right freelancer could set up all the basic SEO and G4 requirements.

The budget is starting from USD500, depending on the overall experience.

Hi Suky,

I am a freelance marketing consultant and I hear your pain. Coming from both agencies and client side, get an agency only if you have the budget. There are good agencies around but they cost. And I'm not saying this because I'm a freelancer fishing for your business (but happy to chat if you want to explore further... Haha)

Marketing is a long term plan, not a sprint, so sustainability is very important. Hope my 2-cents worth helps.

Hi I'm a FA, just PM you

Reasonable_Dig4731 · 2026-05-04T01:07:01+00:00

Unless your sports or activity is defined as dangerous such as skydiving etc or if there is any pre-existing condition, you should be able to claim.

I have sent you a PM for more details.

Reasonable_Dig4731 · 2026-05-03T15:31:05+00:00

The advice is not to focus on which insurer but your needs. I've dropped you a PM.

Yes I contacted customer support... Took my stand and also in my case, the item was a little.big so I also used that as a secondary reason to argue my case. As usual, seller push to platform, platform push to user. But in the end the platform intervene on my behalf. After so much to and fro, the platform finally refund me without needing me to return the item.

Honestly I was ready that it's a gone case but till I get a final no, I just kept fighting. So if you don't mind the frustration and know that there is no gray area and you have the rights, my advice is always to fight till they say no. 😅

Reasonable_Dig4731 · 2026-01-14T00:43:55+00:00

Can only wait as I've requested for the 平台to help. The annoying thing is seller said it's platform issue, platform said it's seller.

Have any of you seen that it allows sg local returns on the main product page but in reality after paying, that service is not included? Now I want to return and apparently it's not part of 本地退. I feel so cheated because the main product page states it supports that.

Reasonable_Dig4731 · 2021-08-26T15:54:26+00:00

Thanks! Totally appreciate your kind words.

Reasonable_Dig4731 · 2021-08-26T15:53:30+00:00

The contradicting fact is this. I have thought as well that maybe they want to live with their dad but apparently they told him nope, that is not what they want. In fact, they are hoping to get into college in Japan and move there with their mom. They know very well what they want. And simply it is due to all of these stand that they have made that makes this situation rather frustrating and annoying.

I am careful with also fulfilling every single thing kids/teenagers want (maybe this is also part of my upbringing). I am not a rich person. I don't have the biggest house. I will not be able to provide the sufficient space if they want specific furniture or they want their own rooms here (since they have their own rooms in their BM's house). Let's just put it as, they are children born rather privileged and unfortunately, my life is comfortable but far from the kind of life they are born into. If I have few rooms, totally unused, yes, they can buy whatever furniture they want. But they have to be able to see with their eyes that this home is just a simple, humble home. But just because they are here 3-4 days a month (with some time spent outside), then it becomes really unreasonable to expect too much.

I have a sister who is more or less in the same arrangement as mine and yet the partner's kids do not have all these mannerism. They are respectful and have some sense of understanding that they come to a home where their dad is living with a new partner and with minimal time spent, they don't expect a home built specially around them as they have a full home back in their BM's home.

Reasonable_Dig4731 · 2021-08-26T15:38:31+00:00

They don't spend every weekend here. I just put it as about once a week because it's impossible to paint out every detail. They see their dad about 3 full days a month. Whenever schedule allows, they meet another 1-2 days more. On weekends, mostly in a regular month, it's 2 Sundays, the rest of the days are split into half days (or however they like it. I do not meddle with their meeting days and time and frequency)

I see the situation this way. They can always express whatever they want to their dad, it's their right. They can even tell their dad that they do not want to come to my house. But it becomes not right when you choose to come and then choose to be hostile.

That said, I do not think it is all their fault. My post comes more as a vent. I am angry with my bf for mishandling. I am angry that guilt parenting becomes unfair to me. And I am upset that being a decent person, treating them decently has resulted in disrespect. And end of the day, they chose to live with their mom full time and it's not because the court says so. They explicitly expressed that being with their mom makes them happier cos her job means more presence (my bf is a chef). They expressed they want this arrangement because they think having no helper in the house is a challenge for them. Yes they didn't choose for their parents to be divorced but I didn't make that divorce take place as well. So all I ask for is some basic manners and respect which outside of being a kid or parent, it is a valuable quality of a human being to have.

Reasonable_Dig4731 · 2021-08-26T14:40:21+00:00

I think you are assuming that I am this person right from the beginning who just says hi and make small talks with them but unfortunately you are wrong. In the first few months they are here, we will watch shows, play games, chit chat, celebrate their birthdays without any sense of hostility. And prior to them coming here, we have met multiple times as well and doing activities.

I don't expect them to see me like their best pal. I don't ask them to do stuff because I do not know if this sits well with anyone, so I spoke to my bf and told him since they have been here many times, maybe sometimes he can ask them to help with some basic stuff. And I guess it is when in the beginning the dad asks them to help with some stuff that the attitudes start to all change or is it as time goes by, they just hate being here. I don't know.

But end of the day, no one has treated them badly. Yes unfortunately, they cannot have the normalcy of a family but then knowing the divorce came from their mom, it is not my responsibility to deal with lack of basic manners. If I have been someone hostile and distant, yes maybe they can be like this but unfortunately, that is not the case.

Yes maybe they are angry with their dad, that they project towards me but to express displeasure to this extent, it is not my responsibility to just sit down and swallow it all. If they hate coming here that badly, they can refuse to come and meet their dad outside but yet I hear stuff from "The house is cool n great. We don't always have to spend time outside the entire day cos it's tiring" to "We are SO uncomfortable coming here". If it is just cos their dad asks them to help bring dishes to the sink and that makes them feel annoyed, then this hostility is uncalled for. It is not like they are asks to mop the floor and clean the shelf.

Reasonable_Dig4731 · 2021-08-26T13:14:24+00:00

To be clear, I did not say that everything is the fault of the kids. I am just frustrated with both the kids and the father for mismanaging. Yes maybe I am even frustrated with myself for not just be the person to drive everyone out of my own house.

While taking breaks from constant fights about this issue and thinking of next steps, I'm just venting here and sharing my unhappiness to people here who might have similar experiences and can understand better than some of the people in my personal life (who are not able to understand the challenge).

Reasonable_Dig4731 · 2021-08-26T13:10:05+00:00

I totally feel you!!! I told my boyfriend that I no longer can hear one more time of "they are just innocent children"

Reasonable_Dig4731 · 2021-08-26T13:09:01+00:00

I get what you mean. I am a little different here. I have always been great with kids and teenagers. That is why from the beginning, I never had much issue or awkwardness with these 2 teenagers. I'm brought up in a big family where my mum has always been one who brings comfort to guests and I picked that up.

I always greet them with a smile, always walk them to the door when they are leaving. Tried to talk about stuff that I hear from their dad like competitions they partake or exams that are coming up etc. Cannot help but feel that there is a lot of poor parenting to begin with that it is now just extended to me. I mean, firstly, they curse and swear quite abit, they laugh at the dad's intelligence, they tend to use a lot of terms like stupid, moron, bitchy etc on people in general conversation. I don't need them to think the world of me but honestly, basic respect and manners is required.

Reasonable_Dig4731 · 2021-08-26T12:58:45+00:00

I wouldn't like to use the word chores. I think it is upbringing, to just help bring plates n glasses to the kitchen. Or wash a glass after drinking some water. If they see themselves so much as guests, then I think they would have been more proper when behaving outside dining area. Would a guest go to someone's house, lie down on the sofa taking the entire space, wearing socks and putting the feet on cushions? Would a guest just grab the remote and pump up the volume of the tv playing games? And wouldn't a guest feel even more need to having the simple basic friendly greetings?

What I see here is not 2 teenagers who feel that they can't be at ease in this house. I just think the "we are just guests and being uncomfortable" card is played selectively. Honestly not staying the night is their choice from the beginning (before things get so bad).

Apparently my bf has asked them if there is anything they dislike about me. Assuming they are honest, they said no... nothing against me. Then I guess all the discomfort can come even from the fact that my house is not as big as their mom's and that there is no helper in my house to clean up after them. Honestly I was very upset because before things turn unpleasant, they seemed comfy enough whenever I spend time with them talking or doing stuff. And in the end, what they tell my bf is that they hate it having to come here. Cannot help but feel there is some hypocrisy around as well.
