How long to wait for the MOHRE contract after signing the offer letter?

Hello,

I have got an offer letter from a company but I didn't sign it. They asked me for my passport, photo, and certificate.

Now, they say that it was not the original offer letter and they have sent the offer letter for MOHRE's approval so I have to wait until the approval, and then only I can sign the contract.

So how long should I wait for the MOHRE contract after the offer letter?

Should I look for another company?

I have got an offer from another company too. My visa validity will expire in the coming month.

Dear questioner,

You can search for another work. The processing takes about a week.

You can use the job offer number to verify the validity of the application through the website of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (Inquiry Services – Application Status).

After you sign the job offer, your employer will send you an electronic entry permit for the purpose of work so that you can enter the country.

Will I get the official offer letter and visa within a week? So I don't have to look for another job.

Am I right?
