Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can provide advice. We are in the midst of the new employee process and seem to be in a bit of a unique situation. My husband was hired through the North American recruitment program as we are Canadian citizens. However, we live in Dubai. To add to the complication, we are on summer holidays in Canada.
The issue is the Saudi visa application. They need our passports and will keep them for 45 days. We still have to go to the Houston orientation (and need our passports). We have to cancel our UAE visa before applying for our Saudi visa but need to do this in Dubai, break our lease, move are things etc. Of course, we can't do anything until we get the green light on our BI and medicals. SA wants my husband to start in August, the kids need to go to school but we can't go anywhere without our passports. Help!
We did ask our relo advisor but he seems very junior and had no suggestions for us. I'm hoping someone else has been in a similar situation and has a good suggestion for us.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
