Ms. Cotton candy,, we both have the same situation. Actually I processed my visa last May 7 but up to this moment, no reply / no status taken.

If your employer does not have any internal issues such as

authorized signatory is out on vacation, funds are not available to process visas, PRO (mandoob) is lazy, no visa allocation for a particular gender and nationality etc. etc. etc., then it can be processed in 1 to 3 days here. Be patient dear. Some people wait for months. Just do follow-up with your agency there so they can coordinate with the employer. Good luck:)

Immigration works do delay during RAMADAN due to half day work. Embassy are closed during national holidays only. Check with Phil Embassy in QATAR their ramadan timings.

Possibility is there due to preparation of ramadan, however, delays sometimes from company itself.

Processing of Visa's depends on company, sometimes company signatory or sponsors is not around, most of them out of Doha.
