Time taken to approve EP for someone outside Singapore

K5912

Hi,
My EP was applied by my recruiter in April this year 2021. I am currently outside Singapore and venturing job for the first time here. However, till date the application status is same as 'Pending'. Is MOM currently issuing EP for my category? It is very frustrating as there is no update and the recruiter also replying that they are clueless. Is it worth waiting or should I consider this as a negative case.
Can anyone provide any insight?

This is not a normal processing time. Your employer should contact MoM to find out what is causing this delay and whether anything could be done to speed it up!

Hello Guestexpat1234,
Is this your first time also? Was any reason sited by your employer? It's a general idea we got that covid situation has slowed up everything.

Yes, it鈥檚 my first time. No, my HR also did not receive any specific explanations to justify this abnormal processing time from MoM.
