In applying work entry visa it takes only 2-3 days in the e-gov't (online application) or if manually made in the immigration same case it's good only for maximum of 3 days....more than a week or a month means it's rejected already so better asked if applied or not...
same will help also as what they stated below...need VD NUMBER, SPONOSOR NUMBER ...ECT....

GOOD LUCK DUDES!!
