Yes, an LOC can be rejected, just as any other pass allowing you to work. I think the MoM officer is right to advise you of the risk, which is probably all she was doing.m25g wrote:Hi All,
I'm on dependent's pass and I got a job offer and accepted it last Tuesday. Company A applied for the LOC or Letter of Consent at MOM. It was approved yesterday and I should begin my first day of work by next week.
Today I got a call from Company B which I went for an interview and offering me a better pay, I have told them my situation and they are willing to wait for me until Monday for my decision if I will accept the offer.
I called the MOM customer service hotline and told me that Company A will cancel the LOC first so Company B can apply for the LOC again, but the thing is she told me that there is a risk that LOC will not be approved for Company B this time, I ask her what is the basis that LOC will not be approved she said there is no basis??? or maybe she doesn't know??
Hope you guys can help me...
maybe you should know this first: there is probably no such thing as guaranteed unrestricted working and residential rights for a non-citizen in any country in the world.m25g wrote:...I called the MOM customer service hotline and told me that Company A will cancel the LOC first so Company B can apply for the LOC again, but the thing is she told me that there is a risk that LOC will not be approved for Company B this time, I ask her what is the basis that LOC will not be approved she said there is no basis??? or maybe she doesn't know??
Stick with A. After some time see what the market is like. Anything else is prone to failing.m25g wrote:Hi All,

it used to be easy for trailing spouses / parents etc until 2010 when natives woke up and found out foreign spouses are more privileged than spouses of citizens / PRs...taxico wrote:

Shit yeah. Spouses of PR's are STILL treated like dirt compared to trailing spouses in my opinion.ecureilx wrote:it used to be easy for trailing spouses / parents etc until 2010 when natives woke up and found out foreign spouses are more privileged than spouses of citizens / PRs...taxico wrote:

welcome to reality ...
As are spouses of SG citizens. Nothing has changed on our end, whether it has gotten more difficult for DP holder or not, spouse of SGC/PR are still screwed if we're in the middle income bracket type careers. Ability to work on LOC is a gift that shouldn't be taken for granted.PNGMK wrote:Shit yeah.
