...decided ...to leave my previous work and find one in SG
...I went SG March 2017, unfortunately, I didn't find spass because of quota.
...I came back May 2017 and when I reached the Immigration, I was sent to their office for clarifications.
...my return ticket is up to 30 days from my arrival. The officer stamped my visa for me to go home according to my return ticket.
...I found an employer and have applied me for spass but it was rejected due to no quota.
...he really wants to hire me so we have applied for EPass.
...I have to go back to my country since visa is expired.
...The epass was rejected.
...we decided to apply for Pre-ltvp last week and waiting for results.
what sort of employer can't calculate their quota? it's simple math and the silliest waste of money and time by anyone.
if you look at your history (listed above), it may seem like you're trying to game the system to find a way to live in singapore (which is your objective). how you go about doing it, needs to be planned, not just left in the hands of these strange would-be (?) employers applying wily-nily.
may i ask what sort of jobs were offered to you, the salary AND what sort (not name) of companies are looking to hire you?
also, what are your qualifications? what sort of job are you looking for?
the answers may help other forum members give you better advice on how to get a work pass.

Questions:
1. My boss is okay to appeal my epass but cannot support the documents needed by mom. The reason stated was 'There is significant increase from previous work'. Mom was asking for my 'Latest Notice of Assessment from IRAS'. Will I be able to get this if I haven't worked in sg before? If yes, how can I have one? My 'Personal Bank Statements, bank account number and electronic payment of salary' - My current bank accounts has no money since I used it on my trip in Sg. What are the chances oh having no money?
2. What are my chances if we will appeal my epass?
3. My boss supported our decision to tie the knot at rom and recently waiting for Pre-ltvp. I have read that cpf contributions is one criteria but my bf has few contributions. We want to try our luck and hope for the best.
Let's say the results wasn't approved, can I ask the ica that I have an employer that is willing to sponsor me? If yes, how do I appeal for that? We can still rom on October right? Will pursue the rom regardless the results because I have read that period of marriage is considered. Will having a company sponsor if I apply for ltvp have higher chance of approval? How can I convince mom that I have a company sponsor?
4. We really want to pursue so my bf can buy a house. What are other suggestions for me to come back and work in sg?
1. no tax paid to IRAS = no NOA from IRAS.
do you pay taxes in your own country? perhaps you can furnish that. if you have no money in your account, then it is what it is.
2. probably quite low if you cannot justify why the same job has a salary increase... for no good reason.
3. good luck. i would assume the assessment is ICA's way of protecting their singaporean men, including the young ones.
employer sponsors your LTVP application via marriage? i'm not sure about that... besides, you have NO employer until you get a work pass. do you still need LTVP (or get married) if you have an EP or SP?
4. realistically, your bf cannot buy or obtain a flat within the next few years. you have 0 savings and no job. he has (probably) 0 savings AND not eligible to get job until 2018.
underaged and without a job, he (and you) are not able to get a bank/HDB loan.
so unless he's well-off, it will be about 2023/24 before he gets the keys to a BTO flat (2016 + 2 years NS + 5 years to build).
realistically, he will have to first get a job to get a loan. he will probably graduate in mid 2020.
(poly students graduate mid-year. he probably entered NS in Q3 or Q4 of 2016, so he will finish NS in late 2018. NTU school year begins in july, so if he only takes 1 year to graduate, he will graduate in mid 2020)
let's say he waits 6 months (2021) before applying for a flt = he will get the keys by 2026.
if he is well-off, you would not be in your current predicament. again, i might be wrong. you could be literally talking about a land dwelling house to be purchased by a tycoon's son.
if you are happy to marry him in October (or whenever) and to work and save from now until 2021 (say, for the 30%-40% downpayment?), then take your time to look for the RIGHT JOB with the RIGHT EMPLOYER.
if you are sufficiently qualified to get an EP on your own merits, then i suggest doing that instead of relying on an LTVP. (at the very least, it may give you some legitimacy in the eyes of ICA at a later time...?)
good luck to your job hunt and marriage.
