Firstly, which country passport do you hold ?

Correct, no extension allowed now, under the pretext of pending application. Lot of people used to claim they have applications pending, and used it as reason to extend.
s.n. wrote:when i exited i asked the officer if i need to wait at jb for my ipa or i can come back the following day..she said no need i can come back the following day and wait for ipa in sg..i was so relieved..
Not so, ICA won't look up MOM pending applications, unless they are approved (I think .. )
s.n. wrote:next day i came back they wont allow me in i was sent to the office and denied entry they were asking for the ipa and even if i said it is already being processed just waiting for approval they still didnt hear me out i asked even for just 2weeks? "NO" they said..
processing - is NOT approved - so, they are right. I can submit an application and say it is pending- they are not required to let you in on the basis of a 'pending' application.
s.n. wrote:i can come back in only if i have return ticket i said why should buy i have a pending application? alright the officer said then wait in jb lah!!! with a very loud voice like im some sort of criminal..they gave me a letter denying entry to sg and was even escorted to the busses going back to jb like id run away or something very humiliating coz people were staring at me..
You should have done some search and expected this kind of response. You did something, not intentionally, but a lot of girls do it on a daily basis.
s.n. wrote:in the first place i wouldnt even come back to sg the following day if i wasnt told otherwise or else id just wait for my ipa...well eventually it was approved yesterday morning and i presented it to immigrations even so i was still questioned like i was faking it..all is well now..id just treat this a learning experience...
Again, an ICA officer doesn't work for MOM. His saying 'should be ok' is not God's word.
And as I said, dozens of girls try the same trick everyday .. though you are innocent.
And one more thing, approval of a pass is NOT equal to issuance. Approval letters can be revoked for various reasons, including medical. So until you have got your pass, your entry is at the discretion of the Immigration officer.
BTW, not to offend you, if you felt humiliated by ICA, why did you come back again ?
PS, try to break up your response into paragraphs. It will be easier for anybody replying.
