Ayumiiii

Hi,

I got a job offer and I have submitted all the documents requested 2 months ago.

When I checked the visa status this morning on https://esd.imi.gov.my/portal/application-status/, 
it says "Return to Company".  
Is it a bad thing?  Does it mean I am likely to get rejected?
My offer is in restaurant industry.  
I am freaking out. please help

Thank you

@docprasid Hi, this process is going to take at least 14 days. This is what I was told by the Immigration officer.

@taihueysunn . Thank you so much for your response , I appreciate it . To reach final stage it takes 14 working days ?
Iam worried about the delay which I’m facing now for next change of status , there is no update since 22 nd of June (status : submitted / documents verification). Do they take like this for every next step until they Issue me the VDR ?
Your response will be much helpful for me .
Thanks in advance

Hi
Thank you all for the reply.
My status has moved to submitted/documents verification .

Myxpats website ([link under review]) states
>>Once all required documents have been submitted, all applications will be processed within five (5) working days.

Am I looking at the wrong process? what is the difference between this 5days and 14days?

Thank you
docprasid

My status has just become "return to company " to " submitted " just yesterday.

Some say its 14 days or taking way longer than that but Myxpat says its within 5 working days. very confused.

Greetings.,

My application went to pass approval status and suddenly it’s showing return to the company. Can someone clarify this ?
In portal they have mentioned tht pass approval stage means application is successful but now again my application is returned to the company . It would be great if some one explain whether it’s normal ?
Thanks
