it depends on the company and the nature of work. sometimes it may take more than four months. specially like in the month of Ramadan all Visa process will be dead slow. for me it took full four months. check again after Ramadan.best of luck :-) :)

It's a process that needs approval through the Labour dept and then Immigration dept.
If you are joining a large organisation, they may have dedicated Immigration officers. Whilst this sounds great, actually they just facilitate taking paperwork from one building to relevant dept of another building, rather then anything more significant then that. Smaller organisations may prove a little more difficult. Better to get the answers on these issues before you sit your arse on the plane. But chances are the company will waffle their way to you, and you will be too gooey-eyed with the offered compensation to pay much attention to other matters. So take it in your stride and be patient.
