How long it typically takes to get the hard-copy of PERM approval ?

[RaghuA]

My attorney received approval by email last monday (Apr 2nd) & still he didn't received the hard-copy of it .

So my question is

• How long it typically takes to get the hard-copy of PERM approval.
  
• If my attorney did not receive it for the next N no. of days, was there a way to request DOL for a copy of the approval? And what is that N days?
  
• How long we need to wait before we request for a copy?
  

Thanks for your response in advance

I have recieved the certified copy after more than 2 weeks.

I am still waiting. What are the other options? Can someone help me over here.

you can proceed with I-140 by requesting USCIS to pick up the duplicate copy of the Labor from DOL. The only catch here is that you cannot do premium processing.

My priority date is 14th feb 2012. Till today i didnt receive any update from my employer. I dont know whats wrong. They didnt give any information if it is approved or denied anything . Employer says attorney is trying to reach them for the status . Is it true. Let me know if any one of you is facing the same kind of problem or are aware of similar cases.
