That is true indeed. It seems to me the Singapore office clearly favors newer applications over the old ones that were submitted to them under the old rules. Maybe the stricter income requirements give them more confidence to approve 2014-2016 files and yes they don't care about the dates of receipt; once the file is deemed complete they will shoot out visa ready letter right away.
I am not favouring anyone, but I STRONGLY believe this is the best way to move forward, whichever file is complete, don't hold on to them for issuing visa, just give them visa and move on,,,,, at least there won't be any back log like earlier days, when parents waited 7 years to get to see their families. That was BS,,,, the old rules were based on date system, like 2010 will get visa before 2011, but then the visa officers are sitting there and waiting for the incomplete applications, so they can get other docs to process them and in the mean time new applications are building up the pile.
I am happy for 2016 applicants if they getting PPR, its very positive.....
