I've also been waiting for more than 9 weeks and received the same emails as Anpisces, Keanoidd, Sara and others here (ie. 3 months etc) late May. Have you guys got any response?
My application started late April, with a twist, ie. MOM requested for CV, which was improvised a week later. I'd seen on other threads that this means the 3 months would begin from date of application - is it true? I do understand that after the mark of 3 months they can take longer as forever if they wish
While it's advised that employer communicates with MOM for more specific explanation or actionable insights, my employer's attempts to call MOM only resulted in "case references" with promises to hear back from them within 3 working days - which never realised.
Subsequently, few days ago MOM sent another PDF letter containing the same "3 month" content (addressed to my employer but also irected to myself). The letter itself contains various other information on "if you wish to withdraw this application", "you could reach out to more jobseekers if you need this position filled urgently", "our career coaches may call you to discuss potential candidates" etc. Sound pretty much that they really don't want my employer to maintain patience with "this candidate" (which is not entirely hard to understand in their position)
I've worked in Singapore for 3.5 years and like most people here, my educational level and salary would undoubtedly indicate eligibility - so there's no B&W reason I can imagine causes this delays. Worst thing beside the uncertainty is handling the rental, leaving the country while waiting etc.
