Application for S-Pass

Dear all,

I have gone through a number of posts and seen some topics on S-Pass application. Hence, I would like to seek everyone's help to advise on my case as below:

I was a job seeker that was looking for jobs in Singapore. In November, I contacted a Vietnamese agent for introducing jobs in Singapore. I did have an interview with the employer's representatives. After that, I received the notice of recruitment from the employer along with the employment letter. As per the agreement with the local agent, I paid them an amount of money so that they would help collect the documents and follow up with the employer for application of S-Pass.

They informed me that the application was submitted at the beginning of December. However, until now, I have not got any response from them on the result and they told me that the company would inform them once the result is available. I did contact the employer but they said the status is still pending till now. I also received request from them to submit some additional documents to prove my financial situation such as bank account balance.

It has almost been two months since the date of application. I am really worried about the status and whether there is any trick here. Could you please help take a look at my case and advise what I should do? Why does the application process take so long as I think it should take around 1-2 weeks.

Thank you very much and I do look forward to your advice soon.
