Waiting patiently 

Hello,

I got my IPA approved. They have approved IPA/EP for a duration of 60 months? 

Is this normal? I thought that the first employment passes were issued for a year or two at one time.

Mine is still pending, Is this really just a waiting game? Why do you think some are approved faster than other applicants?

from what I observe, there was a time where people in finance got their approval very fast, but IT slower. but it shouldnt be treated as a fact, just observe based on field only.

anyone verifying their education? my institution accreditation check is taking almost 2 weeks, not clear what is holding my uni back to reply to avvanz  Im also confuse why accreditation check is needed

MOM said that everything was in order and they are just waiting for final approval but couldn't provide a timeline on when will it be approved. It takes a lot of patience really.

I reckon seems to be a nationality thing.
I've noticed Malaysians getting ours approved quicker.
Once again, I'm not chinese but a Malaysian 
Unfair to some extent.

An IPA is never approved for that long - typically 1 - 3 months.
Even for the EP, it is unusual. Count yourself lucky!

Hi

How much u pay for University Accreditation check in Avvanz?

And what are the documents attached for accreditation check?

Thank you.

Mate, agencies charge based on your requirements. How many degrees need to be verified, where, etc. please think, it’s very logical.

As long as they need to process it. There is a wide variation, but two weeks to two months in most cases.

You may get on 23rd

Mine is still pending! Not sure how long it will take. My agent called MOM and MOM said on 3-5 days they will update! Hoping for positive outcome!

Not sure but I saw the MoM letter where they stated that we need to submit the payment receipt if verification report is not readily available and they will process the application and once approved, during renewal have to submit verification report.
I requested agent to submit the report as we have the same from RMI but they said that payment receipt is sufficient? Any one face similar comment form MOM and what you have done?

your status changes from We need inputs... to pending? hmm, mine still remain at We need inputs... even after the verification report is submitted

There are two possible explanations for this:
Either MoM is stillwaiting for other inputs - or the shown status is wrong (after all, MoM officers are also humans who can occasionally make mistakes).
In both cases it does no harm for the employer to contact MoM and ask!
