I believe the answer is:

origami

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'paper work' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
I also know that 'paper' relates to this answer.

'won't be shifted to waiting room' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'be' could be 'am' and 'am' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for origami that I've seen before include "Japanese craft of paper folding" , "Jap. paper-folding art" , "work from folder" , "Japanese art of folding or tearing paper" , "I'm a giro (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
