i just want to vent a bit, i am a foreigner, married to SC after almost 4 years of dating and flying back and forth. right now looking for a job to relocate to sg, why didn't we get ltvp ? my wife wage is a lil bit low to be my sponsor according to ICA standards i guess, we still gonna try but iam also going to try to land on a work visa. It has genuinely been hard to find a job, every morning the emails i get is my application is unlikely to progress, not gonna give up, but it is draining.

Must be hard juggling everything. Have you considered speaking to an immigration consultant to explore all possible options for the LTVP or other visa types?

but i am still gonna keep trying, i don't really see me giving up at all, i mean, it is for the sake of both me and my wife future afterall. But as it currently stands, i do feel the feeling of this Hopelessness kicking in. and the jobs ive applied to is something i have experience in, such as sales or general retail industry. and i also know there's a lot of people applying in the same field too. but yea, i just wanted to vent a bit. i hope seniors here would give some advice. TYSM for reading

due to the 500 character limit i had to cut out alot of informations. i wanna add more tbh, my wife has been extremely supportive and caring, even though she, herself is also extremely anxious about our ltvp. i don't want to let her carry all the burden alone while i just sit here leisurely and just wait, i just dont like the idea. hence the decision of me trying to get a work permit. but as i said, it has been mentally draining to see that every morning all i have recieved is just rejections :(
