This is normal, it will take time, my company applied for my visa in April, and my status changed to "Valid Employment Visa" just few days back

the delay was from LMRA but also from my company (they paid late)

Ganibhai

Thanks Haseeb for giving your valuable time and opinion.

Haseeb91

it's ok, i think you will get your visa in August, or after eid

Ganibhai

Alright Thanks Haseeb.

Legal Status : Employment visa is in progress

Assalamu alaikkum dears,

My friend is working in Bahrain. and recently he decided to change Job. for that he already cancelled his current visa and submitted the documents and cash to the new employer.
As per the new employer he has submitted the visa application and made the visa payment. But even after more than seven working days still status is showing "Employment visa is in progress" " application is ready for payment"

what are the possibilities for these kind of delay?
how could we know the employer has already made the payment or not?

logicalindian

It will take time, since there may be backlogs because of holidays, 1month is minimum now.
