Is there anyone from the US that received the visa le this Friday? From an earlier post looks like the visas (not sure if this is the le or the visa) were released this past Friday

We have been anxiously waiting for the visa le in London as well so are keen to have news and have been watching this thread with interest.
I am a little surprised to hear that a visa le has been released on a Friday, TBH, because I would have thought anything KSA related would be closed for the weekend. Has this just happened in the US?
We were advised by our relocation agent that the last visa block received was the last week of September and they expected another the first part of October but it never came. Now the Eid holiday has past they still don't appeared have received another so we are thinking any day now.

My reporting month was October and I am still here and not exactly sure when I will be getting my visa le. Also I had my visa medical in mid August. Is there a time limit for the visa medical to expire as in my case its going to be 3 months very soon? Please share if anyone has some info.
Thanks

Sydney,
I asked my RA the same question about medical exam and she said, while it only valid for 3 months, they do not pay a lot of attention to that at the consulate. She still gave me the option to repeat the test or not once we get the visa le. Not very clear direction but this is what the answer I got.

Thanks ChicagoEngine. I still have 10 days before the 3 months is over and hoping that the visa le comes during this time.

Yeah, if ministries of labor and interior are the same ones that issue visa les, they must be pretty busy . . . www.saudigazette.com.sa/index.cf ... 1105185774 Must be a lot of stress for a lot of people over there affected by this right now... |

Just received a phone call from my relocation advisor, my visa le arrived today and I believe this will apply to all US payroll candidates. Hopefully this information will help you all. I should be getting my visa and final clearance letter by the end of next week.

Congrats Sbjatl_2011
I happen to have received a similar call at 4:50pm CST. I am on the US payroll and it has been 4 months since I signed the offer.
I hope everyone else gets the good news this week.
My RA said she will submit the application with expired medical and she is hoping to get the visa within 7 business days.
Hope to hear the good news from the rest of you.
