Are you going to be working for a body shop or directly for an end employer?goldgoldstars wrote:I am offered $5k/mo and I have 3.5 years of experience.
The status is now pending from vetting agencies.
I studied in Singapore years back (bachelor's degree) for 2 years. Also the HR mentioned that they have indeed posted the job ad on the Singapore jobbanks - and I saw the job post too - though I can't see it now, perhaps it's expired?
I tried using the SAT tool and when I tried 4.8k salary, the tool said that I am eligible for both Epass and Spass.
What do you think the chances of getting approval for such case?

I have signed the offer letter prepared by the employer itself - no consulting firm involved whatsoever. I suppose it is considered an end employer?

What I mean is... the company that is hiring you... do they have an intention of placing you into other companies as a consultant/tech/specialist?goldgoldstars wrote:Hi Strong Eagle,Strong Eagle wrote:

No. I believe they won't as I will be working as one of their in-house designers.

Yay!
For 3++ years experience, do you think it is logical to be paid 5k per mo?

Is getting higher (but not too high I suppose, or it would also lead to rejection yeah?) pay will increase the chance of the EP approval?
