From the time your employer received your documents, how long did it take for you to get your visa number?

I did mine in December 2007. Right before the health check and background check came into affect.

It really helped that I could E sign the document vs having the employer snail mail me a contract from korea. It also helped I lived 30 minutes from Korea Emenbcy in LA.

But now that they have background checks, ubnless you have that, passport and transcripts ready to go I am sure it will take longer.

I resigned at a public school in Dec 08 that took a week. Only problem I had with that public school is when I went to Imigration the school district didnt know where they were going to place me. After 2 hours of phone calls they figured it out.
