A month advertising before they will even look at your application,

Can then take anything from 4-16weeks+

Unfortunately we have no real idea. There have been no approved/rejected LMIAs for awhile.

Take approximately 8 weeks from the time you received the file number. You should be getting it in a week or two

Usually the process is once the credit card is charged your employer will receive a file number. So, from the day they receive the file number it is 8 weeks.
