Hi All,

Wanted to share my experience:

EP Applied: 28th March (3rd EP in Singapore, have been here since 2014)

Approved: 13th May

The reason for the delay (as per my guess was that HR didn't submit a cover letter explaining why I should be hired versus local candidates available in the market). This is something that @beppi and @shekhz have said a zillion times about the importance of this!

It's been a very testing wait as I was unhappy with my current job but this gives hope to others who are waiting.



good luck to everyone else waiting.
