Does anyone know how long it generally takes for an employer to get back a letter of approval from the Ministry of Labor in response to a Form WP3 submission?

I ask just since this is the only thing at this point that could potentially delay me getting my Non-Immigrant B Visa such that I have to delay my flight. Thanks all!
Answer summary
The response time from the Ministry of Labor regarding a letter of approval after submitting Form WP3 typically takes about 2-4 working days.

OP
Okay phew, that's not so bad. Hopefully my employer's HR guy got that ball into the Ministry of Labor's court already and there shouldn't be any issue.
