As of now the process has changed by a bit. There is no need for the employer to go to the LMRA and give consent or anything. Housemaid visa have been changed via LMRA Website. The Sponsor needs to login using credentials and apply for cancellation, and pay the fees.

After that new sponsor should apply the visa and get it approved before 30 days.
