permanent commitee on recruitment

hi all,
does anybody know about this "permanent commitee on recruitment" which exists on the ministry of labor? I believe they are the ones who approve visa application requests for Q companies.
how long do they usually approve? and does anybody know what's going on during this stage?
I have an offer which is now under approval of this commitee.
Thanks in advance for your help!
I'd appreciate your help on my inquiries. Thanks!
