It is important to note that the processing of visa applications can take between 3-7 business days (and this period commences from the date that the document is received in-hand by the Consular Officer). For persons who opt to mail-in their applications, please factor at least two additional days (for mail delivery).
Labour laws are enacted with three purposes: Protective Legislations, Auxiliary Legislations and Restrictive Legislations.
