Anyone who are awaiting EP for longer than than 30 days+ i advice to rethink waiting period and move on with other possible options.
Dear Singaporeflyer, are you from a recruitment company? I followed your write ups
Guys !!! I have chased my recruiter for so many times to withdraw the application, But they are not responding,. because they are scared if they withdraw the application they will loose the offer from the employer and some other recruiter will get it. I am not worried since I am currently getting a much better offer than what I am getting and got for recent pending EP from singapore, But I know from my previous experiences how are our guys feel when its pending for long time.

Re: EP Processing Time
No misunderstanding, we all do as much as we can with the data we collect. MOM & ICA hold their cards pretty close to their chests. We collect anecdotal evidence and see trends if/when possible and give our advice without warranty but with lots of collective experience in a lot of different industries and income stratas.
In fact all of us here are/were regulars. Even the four moderators here are all regular board members who have been here since Moses parted the Red Sea. We post as regulars (as I'm sure you've noticed) and we all put on our moderator caps only when absolutely necessary (and usually signify some way in our posts that we are doing so). I usually use a blue font, x9022 uses green. And we also sign off a moderator rather than leaving it blank or in my case, using SMS. We also self moderate each other as we, on rare occasions, step a wee bit over the line as well. We also don't operate the forum quite like some of the other forums either.
Especially when someone asks the same how long is a piece of string question as 25 others did the week before!

+1. I am also just part of the technical workforce in Singapore and not a recruiter.
Joined this forum in 2009, looking for answers - and expecting it like what I wanted.
But, learnt a lot of information from this forum, which initially will be bitter to take in. But down the line, you will surely be able to appreciate the answers and the information from here.

Re: EP Processing Time

Though some smart guy may say it's ok, reality has seen both passes rejected.

Re: EP Processing Time
You should have the application result in 1-2 weeks from now, as we have heard of EP results for some of them known around 3 months time from the date of application.siva1985 wrote:Hi All,
