She cannot appeal unless she gets a rejection. Then, depending on how the EP application was filled out, will depend on whether she can appeal or not (the employer has to do the appealing, by the way, not the potential new employee). If the EP application is rejected for criteria AND the box was ticked to be considered for an S pass if no longer eligible for an EP, then no appeal is allowed. An appeal only stands a chance IF there is something relevant, but important to add to the original application. They are not making it easier to get EPs.amarettoSour wrote:Info i can find on this board seems to be mostly over a year old.
I am asking for my friend. She was an EP holder but decided to move on to a new company. She has been in Singapore for 4 years and worked at the same company. She is korean and new salary is 6.5k+ per month with 4 years experience. Holds a degree from accredited university in the states. New job requires korean language ability on business level as it will deal with korean clients.
How long does it take nowadays to appeal EP? It has been about two weeks for her and she hasn't heard back.
if the appeal did highlight the specific job requirement, it generally works fine.amarettoSour wrote:The reason for rejection was bc they want the company to hire singaporean for the postion. But the position requires korean on business level - the chance of hiring locals are quite slim...
My recent EP was approved in about 48-72 hours, but it wasn't subject to jobs bank requirements.amarettoSour wrote:Yes job stated Korean as one of the requirement.
Not sure if appeal was submitted in writing or person, but the employer claims to be in touch with MoM on daily basis.
The problem is that at the beginning of the ep process, i felt like they didnt set my friend's expectation correctly. They told her it will only take 48 hours to apply for the ep (to which i said whaaaaat?) and that the appeal will only take 2 weeks (i called bs again) so now she is just waiting around at home unable to make any plans because she thinks she will start work any time now. I told her to just expect to start work end of november, 1 month after the appeal.
