3 - 5 days if you are US payroll employee. For Canadian its taking more than 20 days, i sent my passport Oct/5 and still waiting for the stamp.
$5000 is max or half of your base pay. Does anyone have info on global payroll apprently we can convert to it but i am still waiting for details.
thx

My situation has been quite comical. I accepted the Aramco offer in July. My BI and medical cleared in August. My initial date of departure was the end of September. My RA left a voicemail on Sept 11th. that my passport was sent for visa stamping (I, therefore, assumed I had a visa le). I did not hear from my RA till Oct. 24th despite numerous emails, phone calls just for an update. When I finally did hear something I was told my visa le went to someone else and I have to now wait for a new visa le which will happen when?...nobody's sure? I did not get a visa le with the last batch that arrived, I was told (I am on the US payroll).
It looks like quite a few of you are exactly where I am. Lets hope for the best.Best of luck to all. Will post if I hear something.

o everyone,
Just received notice that my visa le has finally arrived. Thanks for the tip about the $5,000 per car. I did not know that.
I appreciate all the comments from those who shared their experiences. I wish everyone lots of luck.

Any update refering Visa tle for UK non sterling payrolls?
Have acepted offer mid August, BI and Medical cleared mid October and VISA number pending. My ## informed me that they are getting some visa numbers but mine was not included and will have to wait. Will be good to know if somebody in Uk non sterling payroll is getting it!

Hi Ferreg,
We are UK non-sterling and the last update we had was a week ago, when a block came in, but we were not on it. We also signed in August, but we are still waiting for BI and medical clearance as well.
Have you heard about a block come in this week? I see two people on here have had something earlier in the week, but we have heard nothing. We weren't expecting anything until December now.

Maursh, what I've been told is that the next visa block is expected next week. I think that most of the people that have received the visa le this week are US Payroll, not completly sure.

Hey gun420, have you received your passports from ASC? Please share your experience on the length of time it took to get you visa stamped by the embassy in Ottawa.
Thanks,

Same here...
I am on Uk payroll, all cleared in October,
received email from my recruiter last week:
".... On a relevant note, we have received Visa block today, however there was none available for you, that meets the requirements (visa le, nationality and visa pick up point). Hopefully we will receive this for you soon."
So, I am hoping that new visa block will arrive soon, as I have information that people were waiting for November visa block since beginning of September.....
Also, in same email I have received notice about recent Policy change for UK payroll, regarding new shipping policy...but let's not flood this discussion with other issues.
See you soon in ABQ, ins!

Just keep in mind, visas come through the government, not Aramco.aramco waits, just as you do.

Hero55,
Hehe,
hi Hero, just tell me is that name of your relocation adviser begins with T, and that she is from East Europe, and then I am sure we will be in the same hat, when they do the next visa block raffle.
I've learned something in this forum - patience, patience, patience.....It's a big system, and it will really take a while until everything comes right......
Se you soon, hopefully....Which department are you in?
B
