Employment -P1 Pass Rejected (Urgent ***)

[ashok.byahut]

I accepted an offer from one of the major investment bank (MNC) in Singapore but my P1 pass was rejected.

I am citizen of nepal and graduated from Inida in BE (information science and engineering) from VTU, Bangalore. Its a reputed technical university in India. I have total 5 yrs of work-ex in IT and have been working in major investment banks in India for past 3 years. I have been offered S$7500 / month from my new employer.

Today I came to know that my EP was rejected. I qualify all the requirements of P1 pass but still my EP was rejected. When I contacted my HR about the rejection reason, they told that no reason was provided but they said that they will appeal for rejection. I was asked to provide my experience letters from my all previous employers( total 4) and updated resume.

Can you please help me out nailing the reject reason? Is anything can be done from my side to find out the reason and re-apply it so that the chances of approval is high? Is it advisable to visit MOM office personally from Nepal? What are the chances of getting it approved in appeal?

Really appreciate your help. thanks

(1) Where were you born? Nepal or Singapore?

(2) Any NS obligation? Any PR obligation?

(3) I don't think you need to visit MoM if you are overseas. Why don't you just call them via telephone or email them?

my reply got sent before it was done...sorry... there is a thread already started for EP. Check out http://www.expatsingapore.com/forum/index.php/topic,56981.0.html

Although the topic was more about extension in EP processing times, some the replies there will probably answer your questions. Anyways, I think the MoM is probably trying to ascertain your degree and experience that's all. They will make you work hard to get all 4 letters but they should theoretically approve it if they get it right?
   Let us know what happens/any development?

sometimes MOM is working in mystical ways.

Let your new employer appeal, supported with whatever papers you can submit and then simply wait.
It is very similar to passing the driving test here, they let you fail a few times until they are sure you are sincere and then they let you pass.

have patience, based on your qualification and expected salary your chances should be good.
Good luck

The MOM ask too many questions.  I am in the process of filling out the pass.  Do i really need to give the salary for all my previous jobs?

I am a business owner / contractor, and take my income as dividends, not salary.  The salary will look like a joke..

I have 2 degrees and 8 years experience in the industry? 

Singapore, make your forms a bit easier, please..
