You need to check into an accredited online program for her. Make sure that her studies and grades will be acceptable to the universities that interest her.

At least in the US, you'd have the option to go public or private. In the KSA, it's pay only. Why slave away in that part of the world when you can slave away elsewhere. |
A basic problem for ex-pat folks is that they use their "home and native land" as the BASIS for everything. DON'T bother with that idea IMHO!!
It will tear you apart thinking that KSA = USA or anywhere else. it will also make you miserable. Forget the "Golden Handcuffs" etc. Live life FWIW. Otherwise go back to the place you left. The USA (Canada/UK/EU/AU/etc) WILL NOT change much in the next few years and neither will KSA.
No need to flame me. I am just commenting on my time in this GCC region - which has been positively FAT (Flexible, Adaptable, Tolerant).
YMMV  |

| What I meant was that since folk presumably move to KSA to make more money, if that's not happening, it's not worth doing. The OP does not appear to be any better off financially for suffering the hardships of Saudi Arabia. |

You do not need to believe in Maslov's Hierarchy of Needs, but if MONEY is your prime motivator, you'd better have a VERY thick skin and practice "shutting up" or biting your tongue regarding negative impacts - because negative (for YOU) impacts will be there.
OTOH, if you are FAT, you will have a "better time" and save some cash as compared to where you came from - remember that $$ was what drew you "here" in the 1st place  |
