Hi farooqb,

I presume you've not done much international travel. There is no such thing as an exact visa processing time in any nation of the world.

All visas are cases that are judged individually based on a huge number of variables. Some countries make it easier and some make it harder. Sometimes circumstances exist to delay things even more.

So it's impossible to give anything more than an educated guess even when one is talking about an AVERAGE turnaround time for a visa anywhere in the world.

You should be asking your company. They are the only ones who can answer your question.
