9 weeks since EP appeal but no updates yet :( page 2 - Singapore forum

This is continuation of my other post at https://www.暗网禁区.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=94822 Just to give a heads-up, I received an offer a well-known Singapore based company with a salary hike of about 35% with a good role and perks. However my EP was rejected in a week and the HR made an appeal without any changes in the proposed salary. My EP process timeline is as follows, Jul 27 - EP applied Aug 2 - EP Rejected (Significant difference in the salary which doesn't tally with the candidate's credentials) Aug 4 - EP Appeal (I was asked to wait for 3 weeks) Aug 23 - I was informed by HR that MoM needs another 3 weeks time to review the application Sep 13 - HR told me that they asked MoM to expedite the process It's been more than 10 weeks since my EP application and more than 9 weeks since my appeal was made. I am really worried why MoM is not responding to my application :( After all, I need an outcome from MoM so that I can go ahead to finding another job. Meanwhile, I tried to find other job offers. Due to this long wait, I have lost those offers as well :( As per the latest update from HR on Sep 16, they have asked the MoM to expedite the process and asked me to wait for their update. Now, I am in a final stage to receive offers from other employers which I don't want to loose again. Adding to this, my current EP is valid till Oct 31st as my current employer isn't gonna apply for EP renewal. My situation is really critical and I am completely stranded. Is there any one who's experiencing a similar delay in EP appeal? Having said about my situation, could someone please suggest / guide what shall I do next ? Is it better to go ahead with the new offers or to wait for the EP appeal? Are there any other ways with which I could push the HR to escalate this matter to MoM? Is it okay to ask my HR a screenshot of my appeal's pending status? Any insight would be greatly appreciated ! Good luck those who are awaiting their results!!!

Ep renewal here, pass expiry in April 10. Applied March 1. Rejected after 1 week with reason that need to reupload degree certificate and 1st appeal pending for a week now. Even renewals in same company seem to be hard nowadays. 馃様

If your pass is expiring on April 10th, your employer should have applied for renewal least 2-3 months ago- which MoM encourages. Renewals are the same as a new application now, because there is additional scrutiny of the applicant and company- it鈥檚 been the norm over the past few months.

Yes that鈥檚 true and HR manager admitted they were at fault. One of her staffs is newly hired and put something new in the education part even though there were no changes in my education. MOM asked for more information on that part (asked to re-upload the degree cert, transcripts etc. They already asked for me to fill up the forms MOM gave months ago in the renewal notice so my direct manager thought HR was already processing it. Apparently they didn鈥檛 submit early. In the end all they could do is try to follow up with MOM on the appeal and correct the mistake.
