Manual PEP processing time?

[journocountant]

Hi all. I'm applying for a pep offshore, I'm Malaysian. A company tht I've been interviewing at offered to submit the papers for me as the local contact address, but they can't proceed with my job application further till the PEP is approved. How long will it take to be approved on average? Is it true it takes 5 days to months?

Thankyou.

For me, it took 18 days to get approved. (I applied in May 2012).
