If it shows as "in progress"; then it is in progress. If it shows as "Not valid" then it means that the application has been rejected. Your employer might have applied again through another application.

I have already posted a detailed guide on the forum on the full visa process.

The process takes anywhere from a week to a month. Sometimes even more.
