Hi everyone~
My employer applied employment pass on Mar 4 2022, I checked EP Oline it showed "we need inputs from...." last week, but it updates as "pending" from this week.
It's been almost 3 weeks, so troublesome.
Anyone gets your ep during March?
Would you mind sharing your timeline?
Thanks!
Hope we all receive our ep soon!!!
My employer applied on February 22, 2022, and I still haven't got an answer.
The status remains "pending", and no sources verification has been needed so far.
From previous comments in this forum, the processing time varies significantly, and there seems not to be a pattern.
Let's hope for the best.

4-6 weeks, even 8 weeks is the norm, some get approved quicker. Have patience please.

I wonder if the longer waiting time affect how the employer treat us… would they cancel the offer? Do they usually wait for us onboarding until the ep is issued?
Phoebeeee: An EPis always issued just before employement starts. If you want to know how your employer will react to long processing times, ask them (not us)!

22/03/2022: EP application submitted
29/03/2022: we need inputs from other agencies ...
I've read some replies about this status, some of them require document verification and some of them got approved without any additional tasks. Do we really need education document verification?
Hey Guys,
Below is is my situation.
Applied: 14th Jan
Rejected: 21st Jan (Need justification for higher salary and company financial statements)
Appeal1: provided all documents on 10th Feb due to unseen delays from HR
Status was still rejected in the ep online ( i think this is okay right ???)
10th March: MoM asked for educational Background verificationÌý signed up for RMI verification process on the same day.
30th March: RMI says accredition check is done, education verification is in progress.
Hoping to get the final rmi report soon and awaiting approval.
Would like to hear if you faced same situaton and got it approved.. some motivation is highly needed for me now
All your inputs are highly appreciatedÌý thank you

Hi Guys,

salary hike: ~55%
does this salary hike considerably high? it's a bit high bcs there's a different pay range between my home country & SG, would this affect the approval? how long does it usually take to appeal due to the high salary hike?

One weird thing is that my employer applied employment pass for me, but it showcases as S Pass and status as "Rejected"...Ìý- @phoebeeee
Is there any possibility that MOM will issue S pass to me after the appealing? Btw, it’s been almost 2 weeks, I receive no appeal outcome. It’s really suffering 😔One weird thing is that my employer applied employment pass for me, but it showcases as S Pass and status as "Rejected"...- @phoebeeee
The employer probably selected the option "If ineligible for EP, consider S-Pass instead."- @beppi
@phoebeeee hang in there, only MoM can make the decision and none of us in the forum can speculate on the outcome. If things are in order and the appeal satisfies what MoM may need as additional info, it may come through. However, it is advisable to have a plan B.

My application is approved, after 7 working days.My employer recently submitted my EP application for me, I am waiting for the approval.I am wondering if the salary increment is too high? Since I saw a lot of posts about EP being rejected due to salary hike, but they're mostly from people who are already working in Singapore, instead of other countries.I am currently paid around S$5000 in my home country, Malaysia, the new job is offering S$10,000. I checked on Glassdoor, people with similar position and experience in the company are paid around the same figure.I wondering if anyone can share insights on this?- @malom80586
“Your application has not been approved. Please talk to your employer or agent.â€- @kicchu
@beppi Actually, I wanted to know if it would be possible to stay for more than 3 to 4 years. I heard EP is only valid for 2 years (renewals up to 3 years)!
