Hi,

My work permit was filed on the 3rd of March and its 8 weeks since the filing is done. Haven't received any updates. Is there any policy change in 2018?

Hello,

Was the application done in Highly Skilled Staff category in Work Permit B?

Nothing changed. The ministry is super busy with workload. That is it. Only option is to wait and get your employer to follow up.

Yes, thats right.

So, I got my WP approved after 10 long weeks  :sleep Got my Visa appointment this week. Can anyone brief on what exactly happens and how long does stamping take to reach the base location?

If all documents are in order, visa application supported by a work permit takes less than a week to get processed and decision made.
