@Mickey235 what Pass they applied for you? If its due to Quota it has to be S Pass and then there is nothing from your end that you can do because quota is not controlled by Employee.. if Salary is above 4500 and this is your first Work Pass push them to apply Employment Pass for you..
@sonuengg123 hi, thank you for your reply. They applied S-Pass for me, although the offered salary is higher than $4500. I have no idea why they dont apply EP instead of S-Pass, but it might be due to my work experience as I am fresh PhD graduate.. let me ask the HR about this issue
@beppi hi, really thank you for your feedback. Will try to discuss about this with the HR team as both of you are right, there is nothing I can do from my end… I hope there will be a good way for me to get work pass and start my project soon there.
@Mickey235 Well you must check Self Assessment Tool and if that says you Qualify for an EP you must ask them to apply for it so there are no Quota pre-requisites.
@sonuengg123 yeah, thank you for your helpful information!
@Mickey235 Hello Mickey, any updates on your application?
@Mickey235 Do you have any updates on your situation? I just got an offer from NUS as a postdoc and I am getting very anxious. I've done the self-assessment on the MOM website and it says I am only eligible for S-Pass, which will be likely to be rejected..for the same reason
@Mickey235
@gptn hi there, my spouse was also accepted in NUS for a postdoc position and offered S-pass. It was rejected twice before we finally can be here. So, just go with the flow and keep your finger crossed. After few months, HR converted my spouse's S-pass to E-pass. So, good luck!
