Hi please could anyone tell me how long the LMO process is for a skilled worker application? This is the first time that the company has applied to hire a foreign worker so from what I have been reading about the ELMO I don't think they are eligible under that system. The application was received by SC on May 30th and today we received a fax giving the file number.

I have read so many varying times for processing the LMO but we are aready into our 90 day restoration period The above LMO is for another job he has been offered as the company my husband currently works for, (well we can't work as our visa was declined due to not having an LMO,) have not got their LMO processed due to the huge problems at SC and they have been told it could be the end of July before they even begin the process even though they could not submit the LMO application until the start of April. His current job is a truck driver so is classed as low skill and I think that the other LMO mentioned above has been dealt with quicker because it is a skilled job. Once we have an LMO I know we have to reapply for the work visa and also pay for restoration but I am worried as time is ticking.

I would be grateful for any help.
