In the midst of so many MAYBEs, why did MOM reject his EP ? Because????BBCWatcher wrote: (*) Sure, an EP would be "perfect," I agree. But the original poster was just rejected for an EP. Maybe an EP is not possible!.
Yes I also have he same question which only Mom can answer.ecureilx wrote:In the midst of so many MAYBEs, why did MOM reject his EP ? Because????BBCWatcher wrote: (*) Sure, an EP would be "perfect," I agree. But the original poster was just rejected for an EP. Maybe an EP is not possible!.
I am with SMS, pushing for DP in this unstable market is not the most brilliant idea.
This might give me some better options. Get a DP, which allows me not to relay on visit Pass and not to worry about duration for interviews etc.. but still I need to get an offer with suitable salary for EP and I need to push the employer that "I can start the job with LoC but at parallel I need my EP to be processed"sundaymorningstaple wrote: By all means, get the DP if possible. Just be careful IF you go for the LoC that the salary is something that will not disrupt your vertical ladder if possible.
I'm not following this logic at all.ecureilx wrote:I am with SMS, pushing for DP in this unstable market is not the most brilliant idea.

Yes, that's exactly I told in my previous post.I really, really don't think this is complicated. If a DP is an option, why not grab it?
To Salyan's question, "Maybe." But BOTH the LoC and EP are better options than what you have now (no job), aren't they?
As I said, along with the current spate of firings going on, if your wife is out, so will you be.saiyan wrote: I think the objections are not for DP but to settle in lower salary job with LoC, which will affect future EP chances.
DP holders (as long as the DPs are valid) have all of the following options:saiyan wrote:I think the objections are not for DP but to settle in lower salary job with LoC, which will affect future EP chances.
Enough. At 4.5k salary, His wife can't get him a DP.BBCWatcher wrote:DP holders (as long as the DPs are valid) have all of the following options:saiyan wrote:I think the objections are not for DP but to settle in lower salary job with LoC, which will affect future EP chances.
1. Visit Singapore as long as they want as often as they want;
2. Live in Singapore with their spouses, without working;
3. Work in Singapore with a Letter of Consent;
4. Work in Singapore with a EP (in replacement of the DP).
STVP holders have these options:
1. Visit Singapore occasionally, for short durations, and with risk of entry denial as the number and/or length of stays grows.
And that's it.
Now, you were just rejected for an EP. Maybe you will be again, even repeatedly. Maybe you'll get a job offer you like on a LoC. Or maybe not. Regardless, you have at least 4 options available after obtaining a DP. Sounds good to me!
As already mentioned upthread, at the very beginning, when I suggested getting a DP, there are two principle requirements:
(a) Your wife must have a fixed monthly salary of at least $5,000/month;
(b) Her employer must cooperate in your obtaining the DP. Without their agreement to lodge the application, it won't happen.
If both those hurdles are cleared, great. That makes a DP application possible. (Still may or may not be approved.) If either hurdle isn't cleared, then a DP won't be an option.
Understood. That's why I told "I need to push the employer for giving me EP" and I have to accept the offers only if it provides EP, not completely relying on LoC.ecureilx wrote:As I said, along with the current spate of firings going on, if your wife is out, so will you be.saiyan wrote: I think the objections are not for DP but to settle in lower salary job with LoC, which will affect future EP chances.
She is expecting a hike, its not immediate but at least in near future and she can talk with the HR about this now. Just a tryDoes your wife qualify for a DP in the first before beating around the bush?
4.5k is cutting is very close for DP ?
We don't know that. Fixed monthly salary is different than basic monthly salary, and we don't know (a) whether that $4.5K/month figure is basic or fixed (or something else), or (b) whether that salary will be increased. [On edit: And now we do. It's (b).]ecureilx wrote:Enough. At 4.5k salary, His wife can't get him a DP.
No. Don't bother. Seriously.saiyan wrote: She is expecting a hike, its not immediate but at least in near future and she can talk with the HR about this now. Just a try

Let's try treating the original poster as the married adult he is, OK? The very first post where I raised the DP as a suggestion mentioned the minimum requirements. I just mentioned them again.
My goodness, if I didn't know any better people are trying to actively discourage the original poster from pursuing any/all available, legal options he may have to join his wife in Singapore. How about presenting those options and let him (and his wife) decide, OK? He came here to solve a problem, so let's offer suggestions that might help him accomplish his goals. That, too, is not complicated.
Giving needless suggestions which won't work is your speciality ! Let me leave it there.BBCWatcher wrote: We don't know that.

Nobody is being hostile to OP, if you think stating the obvious (and disputing you is hostile... ) though I will let it pass.BBCWatcher wrote:Ecureilx, you're being ridiculous. It would be surprising if there weren't periodic salary increases.
Saiyan, please do keep us posted, notwithstanding the pessimism and hostility in this forum.
