Hi, My company will soon be applying for my E.Pass through our Singapore office. My wife is pregnant with the expected delivery date in Dec next month.
For me to join in Jan 2011, I have to apply asap (takes 4-5 weeks) and according to my company I "hopefully" should get it (MBA from UK - good Univ & recognized by MOM website, B. Engg + 6 yrs relevant work exp) and I join as Reg. Sales & Mktg Mgr on a local contract. I did their online EP test and my Univ names got accepted and it said my EP application shud go through.
My wife is Bach. Commerce which is also recognized and has a Diploma in Hotel Mgmt and was an 5 star Hotel employee before pregnancy
So my query is - Should I apply my wife's D.Pass now along with my application or after the birth of child (separately of my wife + child), by which time I will at least know for sure if I am going into Singapore or not (result of my Emp. Pass).
I plan to apply for their visa (wife + child) in Mid-March i.e. after i get my new born baby's passport done and then apply for Dep. Pass.
But I see many stories of Spouse's or Child's Dep.Pass application getting rejection / withheld or just canceled for many reason good or bad or just odd. OR have I to get them into Singapore first on a LTVP etc and then apply for D.Pass?...I would like to have both my wife and child on a DP, so what is the best strategy to get the best result.
I also know it may or may not work for various reasons - being reasonable - but I just want to put my best foot forward and rest is left on MOM.
Thanks...
