LMIA based work permit applicant from Pakistan 2024-25

[executive]

Has anyone applied for LMIA based closed permit from Pakistan by end of 2024 or in 2025? Let's connect here to share timeline.

Currently work permit processing time for Pakistan is 9 weeks but my friend who applied in Oct 2024 is still waiting for BGC. No update since January.

Processing times are typically much longer than 9 weeks. Would plan for closer to around 6 months and be happy if it is earlier.
