Re: PEP New Employer Notification

I got a reply from them 3 weeks on the day requesting some more paperwork ~ I suspect that they strictly adhere to the 3 week response time in the automated response

Re: PEP processing time (personal employment pass)

Coming here to add data point, applied evening of 28/02/2023, received approval today (20/04/2023), just shy of 8 weeks, they didn't contact me for any more documents and I didn't phone them to follow up.

Re: EP Job Change, what happens to DP

Thanks SMS turns out the agent processing the visa didn’t submit the DPs so we have to wait for them afresh

EP Job Change, what happens to DP

Hey Folks,

I've recently accepted a new job offer and the MoM check a pass portal is showing the IPA as approved, however there aren't any entries other than their current DP for my dependants, is this normal? or does it mean that they haven't submitted the applications for them yet ?

Thank you

Re: PR Approval Probability 2021

You’re right about the inefficacy of consultants- I used to recommend them but over time I’ve realized they do close to nothing as far as improving your chances of success. I'd really love to see an updated list of what matters, or what one could actually do to improve one's chances, this forum is ...

Re: PR Approval Probability 2021

In my view chance is surely less than 5%. You will not need an immigration consultant. Negative because of 1. Ethnic quota 2. Short stay in SG - 0 Tax filings. We will recommend at least 2-3 filings. 3. Minimum 3-5 years of working in SG You & SMS know your stuff, as we’d already paid the Immergrat...

Re: HPB response time for verification of vaccination requirements for foreign child

Took almost 2 weeks to the day when we did this about a year ago, old post but hopefully this data point helps someone, there's a small window between 12 months old and 18 months old where the UK/EU vaccination schedule overlaps with the SG one, then it doesn't until 2 or 3 IIRC, so carefully check ...
