Does anyone know how long it takes the Department of Labor for the Labor Condition Application (LCA) to approve an ETA 9035?

I'm on an H1-B Visa and I recently got a better job offer from another employer. Problem is they want me to start in two weeks and they want to transfer my H1-B, but they said that they have to file a ETA 9035 form and they don't know how it will take to get approved. Apparently an ETA 9035 form has to be filed by an employer looking to employ an immigrant worker. After the Department of Labor approves the ETA 9035, then they can file the I-129, which is the H1-B visa, at that point I can start working because I already have a H1-B visa.

I read somewhere that the Department of Labor has approximately 7 business days to approve the ETA 9035, but I don't know how true this is.

How long does this all take and is there any chance at all that this can be done in 2 weeks?
