Dear All, This is a very informative forum and the moderators are performing extraordinary services for new hires especially vpainter. My husband has been given offer letter in Dec 2012 and his background clearance is done in Jan 2013. The degrees with necessary attestation are given to relocation advisor in Jan 2013. Now as per the process, relocation advisor has to get the attestation done from Ministry of cultural Saudia and Saudi Consulate in Pakistan. For this they require a letter from Aramco, which has not received for last 3 months. This is a bit surprising for us. We are in continuous contact with our relocation advisor, but he replies the same that we are waiting for a letter from Aramco. According to him, the visa has arrived. Is there someone who can guide me about the length of process. Has anybody gone through the same process and what was there timeline?
With Best Regards, RJ

o RJ, My timeline is quite similar (Timeline topic). Although you cleared BI and medical in Jan probably your agent has been waiting for the visa block. In April 8 a Visa block has been released with lot of candidates and probably your husband is within this Visa block. Sure KSA Consulate are asking fol VIL letter for visa process which is a letter issued without any delay (in my case I received it along with the Visa block and the ITEA copy - Employment Agreement). I also heard that it depends on the Consulate requirements, in my case the ITEA signed by Aramco was enough, however others request original ITEA signed by both Aramco and Saudi Chamber of Commerce and here come the delays not from Aramco but from this Saudi authority. Another delay can come from Visa block job position that you have been asigned, and the degree presented. If Consulate feels that the academic degree does not match job position probably you will be enled for a second Visa block, with another job position (more or less 45 days mean time between visa blocks). If your visa block has been released, BI and medical cleared and degrees attested so it will be the next few weeks that you receive update about your visa stamp.

Thanks Almo for corresponding.
After my first post its now again over a month and the relocation advisor is still replying the same. We were very disappointed last night when my husband contacted the relocation advisor and he replied that he just talked to the aramco dept and they said now its too long.. if u can send the guy (my husband) till June then it's ok otherwise close the matter. We are really dishearted after that but still hoping through this forum to contact someone who might really know why this delay problem is occurring from aramco side. Following are the details of my husband; Name: Muhammad Danish Job le: Business Sys yst lll Dept: Marine Work location: Ras Tanura Status: family Salary code: 12
The above details are extracted from offer letter.
Kindly please help us in this regards, we will be really thankful.
