ORIGINAL POSTER

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!

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.
