Did anyone here from 2015 get visa yet?

What forms did they require you to update? Just Schedule A or anything else?

Just the schedule A, but they want all information since my parents were 18 years old. Have your online status been updated yet after they receive your documents?

What year did you submit your sponsorship?

I applied in 2011

YES! I would recommend you to complete upfront medical and RPRF payment, and send the receipts directly to Singapore. You might not find my assumption comfortable for your case, but the reason newer inventory (post 2014 files) are getting preferential treatment and better processing time than 2010 and 2011 is because the new set of requirements is much more stringent in terms of income (3 year vs 1 year) and the sponsorship undertaking is 20 years vs 10 years. IRCC seems to be filling up their quota with as many new files as possible and the "leftover" will be used to process older files over the next several years until they're all gone. This, again, is only my assumption based on some raw data. This isn't just with Singapore, most visa offices are doing the same thing: lock the older files longer and process newer files.

The current PGP inventory in Singapore in general, is low, however they are still carrying a fair number of 2010 and 2011 files pending further checks, including DNA and income review. Last year, Singapore issued nearly 2,000 individual PGP visas and they got rid of the backlog at the end of 2015. As of July 2016, there are only approximately 500 persons queuing for PGP visas at Singapore.

Thanks a lot for the advice and information. I was also thinking of doing the medical and police Clarence. Now I definitely will.

Thank you Salil. Appreciate your response. I hope we all get to hear from them soon..... fingers crossed.
Anyone else has got any different updates?

Thanks.

Hi there! Has anybody heard anything from Poland processing office? I got a notification that my parent's application was sent there, but since then have not heard anything.

Is anybody aware if we ca use passport "photocopies" as ID proof from Medical exam. Trying to call the doctor/clinic but looks like they are done for the day.

I don't think so but you can try.
The panel physician takes it very seriously to verify the identity. Not only that, they provide an identity check sheet for each subsequent test the patient will go for.

Apparently the photocopy is acceptable
Just got the confirmation from the Clinic.
