It may depend on your location, I assume. In Turkey, for instance, the average time is 1 to 2 weeks.
Hi, I am bit confused now. when i checked with VFS global office, they said it will take maximum 1 week. However when i called the call center they said it will take maximum 3 months. Now I am bit confused who is right !!!. If anyone who applied and got visa, please update as I would like to know the duration of the visa stamping process.

Immigration office gives Residence Permit (final single permit). I don’t think here are any people who applied after you in Flanders and already got the final SP.
Last WP posted in this forum, from the Flanders region, was from the 9th of november and they received their WP this monday. Since yours is from the 17th/nov, It should be arriving very soon. 
i hope so too. Also saw someone from 19th Nov getting it so bit curious on that 
Lets hope for the best
