我9月6号apply PR, by DEC 6, MY temp EP expired. but i haven't got any reply from ICA about my PR application result.

Questions:
1) do notify me only by mail, don't they?
2) Can i call them to check my PR application process? if can, what number to call?


really worried...i am illegally working now.....


Thanks a lot!


c.y.

it says,
" Kindly furnish us the detailed full curriculum vitae of your family members i.e. parents and siblings. The curriculum vitae should include information on their employment history, employers, designations, ranks and duties."

fax or post within 2 weeks from the date of the letter. office hour 8am to 4pm Monday to Fridy.


但是我以前明明写了一页family CV，包括名字，关系，生日，单位，职务，联系电话。。。这些都不够吗？
（1）我爸50多岁，要把他以前所有的工作简历都写下来吗？
（2）我弟弟还在读书，要把以前学校名字都写下来吗？
（3）designations + ranks + duties, 是不是这个工作具体做什么要一一列出来？

（4）我想fax比较快。If fax, do I need to fax over addiontional page with notes to explain the use of this document.

如果我prepare family CV by next Monday or Tuesday, 他们还要花一段时间process我的application 对吗？
（1）大概还要多久？2 weeks? 1 mth?

我需要去malaysia 出差，用temp EP 可以出去吗？可以呆多久？

如果不可以，可不可以以这个情况催一催ICA?

(2) To extendi EP, what kind of documents do I need to prepare?


Thank you!

1) Constantly check your mail box during the application process.

1) Prepare to extend your temp EP if you haven't received any news from ICA 2 weeks' before the expire date of your temp EP.

(This 2 weeks buffer time is for
a) you may not be available in Singapore, e.g. on leave, travelling on business trip elsewhere;
b) the HR staff may not be available (e.g. on leave), as you need one company letter from HR to approve you are still the employee of the same company.

3) If your temp EP is already expired, prepare an explanation letter with a valid reason, otherwise you will be fined (I was told so). But I do not know how much will be fined. And of course the same company letter is needed.

4) For SPR application, everything should be faxed to 6293 7091, where the SPR application office is located (on 5th floor of ICA building), attention to "Controller of Immigration Singapore"; NOT the fax number shown on ICA letter head or the ICA website "6298 0843 / 6298 0837". If you fax it to the wrong number, sometimes they will ask you to fax again.

5) Your family CV must include the employment history of your family members (parents and siblings), not only the current jobs. And it must include "employer, designation, rank and duty" (This is what I was asked to provide).


My experience:
1) I provide my family CV with necessary information together with the current job and position of family members. But later I was asked to provide a detailed employment history with "employer, designation, rank and duty". This request for addtional information could come to you very late. Mine one was issued just one week before my temp EP expired (all temp EP lasts 3 months I suppose).

2) Today I successfully extent my temp EP with another 3 months with a letter of explanation for the delay (coz my temp EP already expired 5 days ago) and a company letter. If you do not provide an explanation letter, they'll ask you to write one and go back to them again.

I wasn't fined. My PR application is still in process.


Lastly, thank 燕归来, 123abcdefg, and 香陵居士! Your information is very helpful. It saves me a lot of time and trouble.
