Travelling out of Singapore while EP in process
Travelling out of Singapore while EP in process
Need advice on my situation.
I am on the three month EPEC based LTVP valid till March 30. I spent Jan and Feb applying for jobs like crazy and living on a very tight budget and all I managed was a single interview with a big MNC which went over five rounds but ending in disappointment. I had booked my return flight on the leap day to begin with; as I had initially planned for two months as my search time.
Now, last week out of nowhere I got an interview call with another company(non-MNC), gave the interview and got an offer yesterday and EP Q pass in process today.
Now assuming the EP process will take at least about a week, I am thinking to catch that return flight, spend a week(or more) with friends and family back home before(and if) I start, especially since only 10 days of vacation offered on the job.
- Would travelling out of Singapore and back, with EP in process and a month of LTVP validity left, be a wise decision?
- Can I come back on a one way ticket, if EP approved, or do I have to buy a return/onward ticket?
I am an Indian non-IT engineer with a US degree.
Thanks

The LTVP issued under the EPEC does yes.
I wouldn't worry - go and have a break and wait for the news on your EP. Either way, if it doesn't get approval you'll have to leave anyway in a months time.
Agreed
One way ticket is fine.
