I checked
my visa renewal application status and it said “rejected.” The information
given for this rejection says, in short, my salary is too low considering my
qualification and work experience, therefore it’s unfair for Singaporeans who
may be suitable for the same position. I must wonder how many Singaporeans are
able to fill my position with the same level of ability.
I tried
to make an appeal to the negative decision, but as it often happens with so
many things about me, it didn’t go so smoothly. As I was trying to add some
explanation and upload the document the Ministry requested, the message “System
Error” appeared repeatedly on my PC screen. It took me an hour to submit my
appeal. The last time I renewed my visa (three years ago), the Ministry asked
me to provide the latest financial statements of the company probably because I
was raising my monthly salary by S$300.00. This time, the same Ministry says my
salary is too low. Appealing the decision, I increased it by S$400.00.
This
coming weekend, I’ll leave for Tokyo again and stay there for three weeks. My
hope is that it’ll be possible for me to deal with the Ministry, if it’s
necessary, while there. Depressing day, certainly. I’ll keep appealing until
the Ministry gives Yes to me.
