Yes, with a condition that you have a 'Wasta' with Uncle Bandar or Uncle Sultan. |

Never mind 007... he rarely gives any kind of helpful information. Mostly he attempts what he thinks are humorous jabs displaying his anti-Western, anti-American sentiments.
And then he calls us racist...

| 'Wasta' is clout, influence, pull. Do not even THINK about coming on an Umrah visa and tring to change it. Not halal. |

You've been posting much longer than I have so I must take your word. When did he call us ''racist''? |

Not for money would I go back and re-read his drivel. Besides, he has had so many posts edited or deleted either individually or full threads were pulled because he hijacked with his useless nonsense...
