this particular scenerio where i was back from vietnam with her on tiger airways.
my wife then gf was called into ica office.
i guessed they saw my name on her ticket booking and they have done some checks on me ... at this point they did not talk to her and just ask her to sit at one corner.
next, her picture and thumbprints was taken , and Q & A time (i only highlight the critical pts):
ica : do you know your bf is married?
gf : Yes, i know, BUT he aready divorced.
ica : how long he divorced already?
gf : 2 years
ica : LUCKY, you know your bf , and your bf is DIVORCED , IF NOT, I SEND YOU BACK TO VIETNAM now
happy already they bring my gf out to the counter outside which i saw as i was standing at the gass door , the 'Act like one BIG F**K officer' interrogate her and one of the officer says ' there, her bf is there, outside waiting for her ...' finally chop her passport and open the glass door and let her comes out.
after this incident, her entrance was not a problem ...
i guessed its better to sort out your divorce before putting your name as reference and declaring you as her bf ! unless like bro said standby your seperation deed ... my personal feel is it ain"t going to work unless ur gf really can talk because you won't be inside the office with her.
she can still come but CANNOT indicate you as reference n your address as stay. like you said , use your mum as reference and you must prepare your mum for questioning and present at the airport to pick her up.
you can search for my 2 case study on similar case ... conclusion both gals are banned for entering sg for 1 year ... 2 where bfs are legally married, 1 where the guy has done up the divorce deed but no wife signature coz his thai wife ran away n cannot be found.
rgds....

Brother with many thanks,
If I postpone her visit for 6 months.... would it help? Or still the same, would be questions at the counter and then go to the office?
My gf, she cannot speak good english or chinese, just starting to learn ..... She would have no confident in answering any questions. Can you give me more examples of what the officer would asked? Maybe I can prepare her.....
Or is there anyway to write to ICA, procedure or application, explain to them first, prior to her entry.
thanks, and many thanks...... need many helps & advices.....
