Here is a website I've never seen before......It's for the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission (SACM) Academic Accreditation Department with contact information that may prove useful to USA job seekers. How up to date this listing is is anybody's guess (and how responsive the listees would be is another guess) but it might prove useful, especially as regards getting your diplomas, degrees and other documents properly set up.

http://www.sacm.org/Departments/contactinfo.aspx

Note: This dept. apparently reviews and approves US institutions for KSA students to attend as one of its functions. I believe another of its functions is to certify or approve US credentials for US nationals seeking visas to work in KSA. See Nomad Soul's additional comments on the following post.

If you click on the link hash provided to the Academic Accreditation Department, on the menu at the left, click on forms for the forms and instructions on degree authentication.

I'll add:

Quote:
1. Historical Perspective

The Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission (SACM) to the United States is one of the specialized agencies created by the Saudi government in 1951 to administer programs and policies to meet the educational and cultural needs of Saudis studying in the United States. It also functions as the intermediary between U.S. educational institutions and the Kingdom in terms of issues pertaining to culture, education, and science.

SACM is part of the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C., which is under the auspices of H.R.H Prince Turki Al-Faisal, the Ambassador of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to the USA. However in terms of administration, finance and student affairs, the mission is responsible to the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Higher Education.

3.4. Administrative Affairs Department

This section also supervises the pre-employment process in the U.S., such as the receiving of applications, the arranging of interviews with applicants, and the preparation of employment contracts and the facilitation of work visas on behalf of Saudi universities, university hospitals and other official government agencies. (Source: http://www.sacm.org/Publications/56451_overview.pdf)

This department also coordinated my travel to Jeddah once my employment visa was processed.
