The 3 working days is a standard policy for referencing for most big employers or institutes, they are very professional with such references as there are separate teams doing just referencing. I even called my uni to check if they had received any request and the answer was no. They got one from my pre employment checks team for my bank and that was responded same day so yes I am damn sure it doesn't takes that long provided they have asked for. If Mom is planning to ask for at end of April then yes, it will take 2 months from date of application as mentioned in their response.
About my schooling, that's not even mentioned on my CV so it's all under grad and professional finance qualification so I doubt if they will be checking my school for academic certificates. I am not looking for a grad job rather mid/manager level job as I have 9 years of banking experience in London.
If my employer withdraws the application then can they resubmit for a faster response or does that means goodbye Singapore? I'm just gutted as I thought mine was a straight forward case and I don't see any reasons for delays. Now I'm screwed as I have quit from my earlier job, made all the arrangements to move to Asia and all of a sudden I find myself in no man's land. I was conveyed that 7 days it takes to get an EP and no one mentioned to me that I will have even an iota of a problem to get one.

QFP !!!!!! Make great bed time reading.oayaz01 wrote:I know what is a market labour test and so does my employer, that was already done then and documented in the form submitted to MOM. For your info, there is a 30 days market labour test in UK for hiring non EU and I have done that twice so I know what is it and only then you can apply.
I am 200% sure of what I know about the stuff I have done/provided and how long it takes to verify that, I am not implying that my surety goes beyond my knowledge. If they tactically delay stuff then good on them but you can't call that fair dealing!

Fast lane ? slow lane ? well, so your not starting with in 3 days cost how many million $ of loss for who ?oayaz01 wrote:Bottom line from all that I've read so far, Singapore is meant for people who likes driving on the slower lane, think they have never been on a ride which goes via the fast lane and as such guys like you don't get what opportunity cost and common sense means.
It's still not too late. Tell your bosses that you don't want to work in racist, discriminating, and insulting Singaporeoayaz01 wrote:Anyways who cares now, but only If I had known this in advance I would never have wasted my time on moving to Singapore.
Seriously ? Yep, they respect poor Filipino and Indonesian maids and Bangladeshi and Indian construction workers here, than Highly paid and demanding Pakistanis- there- you get it now ?oayaz01 wrote:P.S - Every tom, dick and sunday apple can get a work permit in Singapore, try getting one in UK or US and then you'd know the importance of rolling a red carpet:P

Keep going mate, you are really entertaining me todayoayaz01 wrote:Maybe bcz they prefer people such as like you with no real "backbone" who have nothing better in life to do than just wait.
Thanks Ecurelx, I'm glad that atleast I'm of use to someone on here:)ecureilx wrote:Keep going mate, you are really entertaining me todayoayaz01 wrote:Maybe bcz they prefer people such as like you with no real "backbone" who have nothing better in life to do than just wait.Am not sure how many more here are getting entertained by you ..
No mate, you are missing the point, seriously.oayaz01 wrote:And again you missed the point- the question was that even if they chose the vetting, what are they doing that's taking them 2 months as it can't be educational screening which can take that long?
I quoted it in passing, since somewhere else you mentioned "white folks .. "oayaz01 wrote:And re your comment about Filipino maids, why that should matter where the hell you come from if are a genuine case, simple?
Seriously, defending the authorities ? Singapore government doesn't need paid defenders.oayaz01 wrote:Looks like you are just busy here on defending the authorities than using sense and looking at what's written, I hope you ain't on a specific payroll!:)
For a highly paid banker, if you used quotes, it would have made more sense. Quotes - [ quote ] and end with [ / quote ] (minus the spaces within the square brackets. .. )oayaz01 wrote:Well your final answer is to ask me to cancel my application, as I said don't you worry now as I've understood that how slow and illogical things are at times in Asia even though it's hard to grasp why ( though I thought Singapore would be different), I'm now not putting all my eggs in the same basket anymore.No mate, you are missing the point, seriously.
Why can't they take 2 months ? Explain to me Why not ? Is it some international standard that Pakistanis must be vetted within 3 days ?![]()
They can take 2 years if they want to but then they should say upfront as why they doing, what exactly is the risk etc and I'll be more than happy to keep my gob shut. As they do everyone else's within 7 working days so guess I've a right to be gutted bcz I'm given this special privilege.
I quoted it in passing, since somewhere else you mentioned "white folks .. "
I didn't use the word white folks rather Brits and that's bcz I have mates who have moved to Singapore for work and don't think they ever got vetted or knows of anyone who did!
Seriously, defending the authorities ? Singapore government doesn't need paid defenders.
That was just a joke like your red carpet one!
What me and SMS were trying to tell you is the reality of Singapore - and how things work here. Or more like telling you that this is Singapore, take it or leave it.
If telling you that you are smoking something strong to insist Singapore is inefficient, is seen as defending the authorities, well, good for you.
Who knows, MOM folks may actually be checking your birth certificate - it wasn't a fake one right ? Don't say nobody should check Birth Certificates, and TIA mate, TIA (This is ASIA).
I have no clue as to why one would be checking my birth certificate coz neither am I an asylum seeker and nor a minor ( under 18) so why would age will make any difference to the employment pass provided I have a job offer? Unless that's how they justify their jobs:)
So, wait, and wait - or, as I said, instead of throwing tantrum, just tell your boss to withdraw the application - so you can stop cursing Singapore.
