" I got a job offer in Zurich Switzerland just recently. It is a job relating to Electronics Engineering. I have 7 years of experience in the field of Engineering. The company is now working on my work permit. They said that I have to wait at least 10 weeks to get a work permit. My question is what if after 10 weeks I''m informed by the Swiss government that I cannot get a work permit? Is it difficult to get a work permit approved by the Swiss authorities through a company that is going to hire me? Is there a quota system regarding B-work permits? And if ti does, what are my chances of getting one if I apply at May 2001? If your work permit is rejected, will you be informed much earlier than the 10 weeks or it will take as long as 10 weeks to know whether you are accepted or rejected? "

I think it depends on your company. It took me less than one month to get things done. Easy and no hassle. I believe it is because mine is a BIG Swiss firm who has a good relation with the authority.
