Im a HK citizen, and PR is Singapore, My husband is a
Singaporean. I jus got my PR approved which is about 9 mths ago.
That was my 1st attempt, with my husband as a sponsor, whos income
is not more than 32,000 anually.
I give birth to a son, he is now 7mths old. I love him more than
anything else. He is my courage, with everyday in SG. I got no
frens in SG,. Jus me, husband and my son.
I have always try to giving my best to my son. cos i love him.
Financially, I cant support my son, partly becos im not working in
SG, since my stay in SG for about 1.5 years. So I have been rely on
my husband's finance, and i do my part to take care of my son.
However, to give the best to my son, I have this thought to apply
for HK's Right of Abode (ROA)
http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/hksarvepid.htm .
Its easy to apply, probably no need any application fees, or at the
most a small sum of money. I always wanted to do this. Because he
is infant, it is more eaiser and better to apply early. Its for my
son benefits. like free medication. and hopitalisation in HK.
Furthermore, when he grows up as a working person, He has a choice
to decide where to work or reside.
I discuss this with my husband. He reply to me, "at this moment, we
dont need this application yet, there is no hurry. Even if 5 o 10
years time, Its still not too late to apply this ROA"
I was very angry, and breakdown over his reply. Trying to imply
that he rules everything. Its make me think that he is selfish, and
inflexible in thoughts. The fact is, neither I got intention to
keep my son in HK throughout his life, nor thinking that my husband
object me from applying.
But does he sound selfish and arrogant? Does he has this rights to
decide for my son? OR to restrain me from doing it?
pls advise
