Hi all,

I am a student from India. I have an internship at EPFL this summer. I will be getting paid a stipend for my internship. I thus need a work permit for this. I have applied for visa 2 weeks back. I am now waiting to receive authorization for work permit. (My internship is less than 90 days) I am supposed to leave for Switzerland on 6th May. Does anyone have any idea how much time will it take for me to be done with my visa process? I really am tensed about the visa. (I know I was late in applying but the current university I am studying in I have to obtain an NOC to apply for visa and that took a lot of time)

The website and the letter I got says it takes 8-12 weeks for the visa to be processed? Does it really take this long? I hope that the process is shorter than this.
