Hey everyone, hope you having an amazing day!

long story short, I've been in Malaysia for 3 years and completed my studies as a graphic designer after that I was seeking a job for 2 months or so and I got an offer and we start the prosses for hiring I worked w them for 2 days as a trial made 2 interviews everything is fine after that they advise me to get out of the country in order they make a visa for me as a worker visa coz I was student So, i have to get out and it's been 2 months so far and im still waiting and each week I got an update saying they sill waiting as well for the approvel and so on!!!

my Q here is

1-from where they got the worker visa from, is it from one place only so I could check w them?
2- is it really taking this long coz I was a student and they were scared of getting rejected?

whoever been in my place before helping me pls
thank you so much

Companies need to prove there are no local candidates available for the job to get approval from immigration.
