Hi There,
I interviewed with a company last month and got the job, applied for an EP on the 28th June, week later they requested more information from the company (forgot to send University transcript!) sent same day, now EP is still pending (Day 23)
I entered Singapore on the 2nd July because my partner was starting work shortly after (3rd), after 2 weeks of not doing much but waiting, I met up with the SG company I was hired by, they wanted me to start straight away but obviously pending EP, instead they decided it would be a good idea to go to the Sydney office and start working on the clients that will be onboarding to the SG office when I start work. So I went to the SG office (15th Jul) picked up my stuff signed the Australian contract then booked my flights with the company to go to Sydney on Saturday (21st Jul). my return flight from Sydney is on Friday (27th Jul).
My question is, if my EP isn't approved in that time frame and I don't have a departing flight what should I do?
Also to note upon entering on the 2nd July I wrote on the card I was going to go to Malaysia (of course I didn't because I booked a last minute flight to Sydney), my concern is will they pull that up and ask why I didn't go Malaysia? What should I write on this disembarking card? Will I get rejected upon entering? Should I avoid saying my partner is here I'm currently staying in an AirBnb, will they check up on that?
Thanks,
Shirley
Company background: New less than 30 people, roughly 10 expats in the company as whole, not sure when the most recent application before me was but was sometime this year.
The job vacancy had been posted for 2 months before I found it so I'm hoping EP doesn't take as long!
