Jack, I submitted my documents via iSubmit, and as mentioned in my MOM application, it will take 7 days before they can verify/validate my documents. I got the result online. It might be because I was not able to submit the required document in 1 message, because it's above 2MB so I have to split my message, it's just a guess. That's the difficult part, there's no appeal nor would you know what's wrong with the application. Noee, tnx, perhaps that maybe the reason.

Did MOM mention any ideal income that will increase the likelihood of approval? Lee,

wow, 2nd rejection.. and, 7 days? did you check wponline if your application got approved/denied and got the result 7 days after, or you received the postal notification after 7 days?

also, why do you think your application got rejected? Did MOM mention any ideal income that will increase the likelihood of approval?

I know how difficult it is to leave your child in the hands of people you don't know. I hope your mom gets here soon. The application may have been also affected by the fact that Singapore is now controlling the influx of foreign workers into the country. Hope everything works out well for you.

They also didn't say why. Pero kasi pala I didn't take the EOP muna. I would recommend you try again pero try to figure out what you missed first. Your maid should still be in the phils, her passport valid for 6 months, etc. etc. It could be the form that you submit so MoM can look into your income... Just a few suggestions. You might find http://www.pinoysg.com/forum Search the forum about domestic help, maid. There are a lot of helpful discussions there. Maybe you might find someone who can tell you what you missed too. Good luck. :) If it’s any consolation, my first application got rejected too. They also didn’t say why.

I just finished the EOP and MOM application, I was advised to have a family accompany my maid, as Immigration in the Philippines might have some doubt about our maid. I'll keep on sharing if I learned something new, really good article! I’m currently applying for my maid, this article is really helpful.

It's basic math, English comprehension and common sense. You can download reviewers from the MOM site: http://www.mom.gov.sg/publish/momportal/en/communities/work_pass/foreign_domestic_workers/application0/requirements/first-time_foreign.html#entrytest I think it's the same reviewer the agencies use. I went through the reviewer with our maid and I also gave her some tips on taking an exam like skip the questions she doesn't know the answer to and just come back to it later. Also don't leave any item unanswered. You also need to explain to her some points from the Employer Orientation Program - rules like she's not supposed to work for anyone else but you, she can only work on domestic chores and not business related ones, etc. Everything is on the reviewer. Good luck! .-= noee´s last blog ..<a href="http://pinoyinsingapore.info/2010/02/11/beijing-101-trial-experience-and-my-thoughts-on-agressive-marketing/" rel="nofollow">Beijing 101 Trial Experience and my thoughts on agressive marketing</a> =-.
