EP Approval Time May/June 2022
@timtamy Yes, I've asked HR & the agency which submitted the application to follow up with MOM. Unfortunately, they didn't say anything concrete on terms, so we just wait
@jsanjaya168 same here bro.. last time it took in total 17 days for me when i changed my company.. some ppl are getting it quite fast like in 6 or 7 days.. mine is already clocked 11 days in total now.. Lets see hopefully can get soon..
- @sonuengg123
@Jacky99 I have almost the same dates of application + follow up docs as you. Did you hear back yet?
- @ms12345
@sonuengg123 Additional documents from my side. Do you happen to know if the usual timeline of 2-3 weeks starts from the initial submission date, or the date of submission of additional documents?
@bhaskarnemala369 I'm positive that it is 3 weeks from the day you submitted the additional documents in this case.
@bhaskarnemala369 Bhaskar i am not sure if it resets the time line but i guess it should go smooth once you have submitted additional documents. May i ask what documents they needed?
@vijayvijay1100 write on Google Check work pass status and open first link of mom.. Select Language and give consent and put your Date of Birth and FIN/Passport number to check
EP application was submitted on April 7 and still pending. Industry - IT, salary is above 99 percentile for the industry, 20 years of experience.I've been working in SG for 10 years in few companies on EPs and PEP and never has been waiting for so long for EP approvals.- @tapxedotmoc

Document submitted by HR : 29 April 2022Current status: Pending status as on May 17 2023YoE: 11yCurrent location : India1st time EP application: YesMy employer did a follow up on May 12 with MoM. No query/concern raised by MoM. They just asked to wait.But I'm starting to get worried.- @SunilAl
@sonuengg123 Still pending. It's been only a week so I guess it's still a long way to go, but I can see how anxious it feels. Hang in there guys!
@sonuengg123 no, it was May 19. I'm worried because my salary is quite low. The higher your salary is, the higher chance your application gets approved/gets approved fast.
@ashdon4u If MOM gave a reason, either your employer or agent should know about it. You submitted the application just 2 days ago and already got rejected, it means something is obviously incorrect right at the beginning that they had to reject it. Check with your employer!
@ashdon4u your EP got rejected in 2 days? Well they will send the letter to your employer with a reason mentione.. is this your first EP? Are u in Sg or overseas?
@withyou18 its not true but did you check on SAT that if your salary is ok for you to get the EP? That shall be guideline before applying
