(2) If 2)form 12 is correct, it can only be submitted after the approval of EP, because it needs to fill in the permission information of the EP applicant, such as FIN, which was not available before the application. However, I seem to have seen similar DP and EP forms submitted together on my mother's website. I just went to my mother's, but I really can't find it, so I'd better check the HR of your school. They also need to submit DP forms.
EP depends on salary, employer, education and your personal work experience. At present, the standard of EP is 3000 yuan per month. According to the level of associate researcher in local public universities, 3,000 is definitely available. It seems that RA is already 2800, and it should be no problem for associate to pass 3000. Plus your educational background and employer, EP should be no problem. I just want to see how your application is going. Now the condition of DP is that the EP and SP salary of Q 1 must be above 4000. It seems that as far as I know, RF can pass this level. However, this condition is not absolute. Mom also said that there is nothing wrong with trying.
