Have any US citizens recently gone through the visa process? How long did it take and what was necessary?

I just got my residency permit very recently after 3 weeks of being in the country. It is a one year work visa. I wasn't told that I needed to do a Police Clearance before I came out here, so they just said to do it when I go home for the holidays. Then I can apply when I get back for the 5 year visa, if I decide to extend my stay. That is probably the easiest way to go, if you have not yet gotten your Police Report. Some people have been waiting months for their reports to come through, then you have to wait for the residency permit to come through. This is after the medical exam and fingerprinting. I'm not sure about how my case matches up with many other people's.

pmmali - I should clarify. I am speaking of a work visa. I will be coming on a 2 year contract which will begin once the visa is secured.

Is it extremely simple for US citizens to secure work permits out here? Strange People like Indian nationalities break their heads to get a valid work permit.......

On arrival visa?? Are things really that simplified..... What about all the documentation and other legal hassles?

It all depends in How well and organize is your sponsor. I had a 20 day tourist visa and It took three weeks during their holy month to get my working visa establish including my License, Immigration Id and working Visa. It should be no problem since you are not in their holidays.
