Employment Pass

There is, of course, no guarantee that your application would be approved at any given time or at all. After all, it is the purpose of an application process that MoM checks whether you and the employer are eligible. That assessment takes as long as it takes - and comparing it to other cases (e.g. your brother years ago) serves no other purpose than showing that each individual case is different.

That said, it seem to me that your agent is not well-versed in dealing with MoM. This is unfortunately common with such "agents". I recommend you skip them in future and contact the employer directly - they are the official applicant, they receive all communication from MoM and, according to what you wrote, they also have to supply the documents MoM still needs.

I hope that you didn't have to pay this "agent" for the visa application? That would be illegal under Singapore law and only shows the "agent" is a scammer (which is also unfortunately common ...).

@beppi Thank you for your time to reply to my post and I appreciate your response. Yes, I dont need to pay any money to that agent. Based on what I know, those agents they actually employed by my employer.

Is there any specific reasons why it took so long? So it is possible that the 2nd application will take the same time and end up Invalid again? 😅

Anything below two months processing time is considered normal - and there is no reason your second application would be faster. (Appeals are usually a bit faster, though.)

And of course there is no guarantee that it would be more successful than the first - the key here is finding out and removing the rejection reason!
