I recently got my visa to work at a uni in the KSA.
How long does it take to get the visa?
After I get the visa, how long before the work begins? |

Dear Hatcher,
It's Scary is certainly right about the "string." But I'm puzzled by your post:
"I recently got my visa to work at a uni in the KSA.
How long does it take to get the visa?"
If you "recently got (your) visa," why are you asking how long it takes to get the visa?
Regards,
John |

Dear ap4058,
"I think he means I got a contract to work at X . . ."
You could be (almost) right. Maybe what was meant was that a letter of agreement had been signed since (as far as I know) the "official contracts" aren't signed until one arrives IN the kingdom.
Regards,
John |

hi hatcher!!
Im so sorry this is offtopic but I am going through a recruiting process for a university as well.
I have been accepted and offered a position. They told me plz bear with us and wait.
Can you tell me exactly after you sent in a copy of passport and documents when did you receive your eticket and visa?
they just left me hanging... I am wondering if they changed their minds.. this is so frustrating.. you know if I should keep looking or just wait... |
