I'm a fresh grad from SMU (BBM degree) and a recipient of the MOE Tuition Grant (my bond is 3 years). I was offered a job at a small media firm, and they promised me 3.6K as starting salary. I accepted the offer, and they applied for an E-Pass. My in principle approval was also received. A few days later, the company called me to let me know that they were undergoing a downturn, and were going to offer me 2,500 instead. I was fine with this, but am afraid because it is way below the prescribed starting salary for E-Pass holders. Last Monday, they have filed an appeal to MOM to reduce the salary to 2.5 instead.
On a separate note, ICA has given me till 21st October to stay here while MOM processes everything, and have stated that they will not grant an extension. I will have to leave, apply for LTVP and re enter, according to them.
So, my fears are:
What are the chances of MOM throwing the entire application out of the window, or withdrawing the IPA? Anyone ever been in a similar situation? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated
