Just to see how many are in a similar situation, I thought I'd ask about your recent or current visa approval experience. Mine was submitted Sept. 2 to the MoHE. Still no resolution yet.

How about you.

Thanks for posting your info Jacob82. Maybe we'll hear soon from someone who's actually received their approval and they'll tell us when theirs was submitted.

There should be a pretty large number of people who've submitted within the past 5 weeks, but I have no idea if they are reading this forum.

Please clarify is this is for the Ministry of Higher Education or Manpower.

Manpower should not take more than a week.

Good to know that about Manpower. As I stated in the OP, " Mine was submitted Sept. 2 to the MoHE." Thanks for the info. If I had it to do over, I'd apply for a job that goes through the Ministry of Manpower.

My docs were approved by MoHE on the 1st of August and I got visa on the 24th of September. Now I am here in Oman and know many teachers who got visa in just 2 weeks so visa can be approved in days, weeks or months.

many teachers that were offered a certain amount of money on the phone were then told they would only be getting 1/2 of that salary. They were told this after they arrived. Some left because they have refused to work for 1/2 of what they were offered so now the univerisities are looking for more people. BEWARE of this trick.
