This question has been asked so many times that I have put a sticky:

https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=750635

Read it.  And simple answer, no one can tell you exactly how long.  Can take a week to a month and sometimes even more.

Instead of repeating the same question again and again, read the link I pasted above.  This will answer your question.  Don't be lazy.

Pavi Sri

Iam not lazy. Iam waited 1 month for my visa so then only i ask to you. Now I very frustration and Iam in stress and depression. Thanks for you advice 🙏

XTang

I meant lazy because you are not reading the link I pasted which clearly explains each step of the visa process and would answer your question.

Employment Visa is in Progress... status Not change .how long to change this status beauce I m waiting long time November to apply my employment visa

XTang

The answer to that is, no idea. It usually takes 4 weeks for a visa but many applications take much longer.  No one can answer this for you and that is why I asked you to read sticky as its clearly mentioned.

Visit visas for Africans have been stopped and there is a delay in the work visas as well.  Nothing you can do except wait.

@osman423 so when the visa will come out

logicalindian

@frank1010williams Your question is not very clear

Maximum 2-3 working Days .
LMRA taking 24hrs to check your documents ( In order )then 24-48hrs in GDNPR ( immigration) .
After submitting the application LMRA clearly mentioned on website if no change in status after 48hrs then Generate eticket for details...
blink.gif Most of the time Actual delay from employer , they are not paying visa fee to lmra in given time
Only after paying 100 or 200bd you can see your valid visa ( green color) status .

how long does it take for employment visa that is already in progress to be canceled by itself as I was told by my employer, I stop working with them after two days of work. Reasons, The nature of the work is different from what I was told so I have to stop. though they say they have not paid so it will cancel by itself. How long do I have to wait. It's 7 days gone already. and what effect will it have on me? Can another employer put employment visa for me while this one is still showing employment visa is in progress?

XTang

if it is in progress, it will take a week or 10 days to be approved.  Then they have 30 days to pay for it.  If not,, then it will be cancelled.  Before that, no one else can apply for a visa for you.  Ask them to cancel the application.
