Hi all,
Well, Ive been here for approx 8 weeks and I am still waiting for Iqama. I got it first about 4 weeks ago and took it to open a bank account. The bank took a copy and sent the application to head office in Rhiyad, who prompty rejected it on the basis that the iqama had different arabic spelling/pronunciation than my middle name. Ok I thought a simple fix....so I went to passports and told them it needed to be fixed. An American who works in personnel took charge and told the Saudi staff to get a move on and get it fixed as its an important document.
Well here I am 4 weeks later still waiting.....I call and call and when they do answer they say oh you should contact this lady or ring this number....and pass the buck cause they have no idea.
Any advice on who to contact...?
Being Ramadan doesnt help.....
