Usually, higher qualifications and qualifications will equals to an easier time to secure a stable and better income.
Job Scope
The experience and skill set an individual have in a particular job will help in the application.

Length Of Stay In Singapore
This is a determining factor to evaluate an individual's seriousness and desire to settle down in Singapore for good. It is also due to the fact that the longer the duration of stay an individual has in Singapore, the more accustomed to Singapore that individual will be, regarding the culture and life in Singapore.
Family Ties In Singapore
