Hello

Last week of October 2015 I was approached by a Senior Recruitment Officer of a Bank for a telephonic Interview. A day after, I was interviewed by panel and later that day I was asked by the HR recruitment officer to provide them with my present salary slip, scanned copies of academic documents, past experience letters and CNIC/Passport copy.

After providing the desired, I was called after two days and was given a verbal  salary offer which I accepted and later was provided with a formal letter for same.  I gave my formal acceptance on 1st November 2015.

Ever since than, I haven't been provided any update about development taken place; no visa authorization code or E-Wakala has been issued and shared. I did contact the recruitment officer and he directed me to his other colleague, who hasn't responded to my queries.

I just want to ask whether such delays are usual, and how many days did it take for you guys to get hold of e-wakala/ authorization code.

And what is the general timeline for.conclusion of all visa related matters

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Keep (at least) 3 months in mind.
Your recruitment agency must keep you posted on the progress though.
