@ashdon4u

It will show you record in last 6 months.. if you have ur EP now it would show its valid with expiry date and if someone has applied new EP for u it would show status as well. Last time they used to show that Status is pending then we need inputs from vetting agencies etc but now it just shows Pending and then change to Valid or Invalid depending on approval.

- @sonuengg123

Not yet. Patiently checking the website 2-3x daily.

Based on my previous 2 EP applications, it took me exactly 3 weeks to get it approved so if this one is the same, I should get a result by Friday.

New here. Just sharing my situation.

Been working in Sg coming 11 years now. Was on EP for my initial year downgraded to S-Pass until now. Never changed employer, which is a small local private IT company.

HR applied for S-Pass renewal last May 2 which was denied after two weeks due to no quota. Company head count is 5 locals/PR and I'm the only foreigner.

HR applied for E-Pass yesterday and given a long pending bump in salary and due to my role change. Reading through here I am now very worried. Will update again of any status.
