If they escort you they have to pay you anyway so yeah that extra two weeks to get everything ready would not offend me at all.

Thanks O&GEngg. I am looking forward to meet you and work with you as well. In regards to the time that it took to get the passports stamped, my Relo told me it normally takes 5-7 business days so seems like when you get to this step things start to move faster than the rest of the process. As far as the overall timeline, I have to admit that I been lucky for everything from when I got the offer until I got our visas. However, I had to wait for 5 months between my first interview in Sep 2013 until I got the offer in Feb 2014 so I guess I served my wait time at the front end of the process  Best of luck to you and everyone else on this form and I hope to meet you in KSA |

Finally I received my offer yesterday. I am surprise that I was interviewed for some different position but I got an offer for totally different position. I do not know what to do know. I asked recruiter to verify if it is a mistake but she confirmed that is not a mistake. I even do not have job description for that job.
In my offer it states that company offers me employment for work at Udhalliyah. What does that mean? Will I be working in Udhalliyah compound or in some oil and gas facility near udiliyah? What they normally mention in offer for work location? do they mentioned specifically the facility/oil & gas plant name or just a compound or area name like Dhahran, ras tanura, abkak, udhalliyah etc..
Can you folks advise please. Thanks,

Hi! everyone!
I had a skype interview 15th, April and at that time I was told that I could receive the result of my interview within 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I didn't get any inform from my recruitment agency yet like other peoples in this forum. Before the interview, Aramco wanted to get the documents such as 3 months pay slips, copy of passport, updated CV, application form and my professional certificates. So I sent them to aramco 12th, April and I got the interview with 3 managers for 40 minutes. I thoutht that my interview is not bad.
Anayway, I got the call from my recruitment agency in my country at 8th, May. I was told that
Aramco want to receive my certificate of graduation(my degree) additional, So I sent my certi. of graduation to aramco last Thursday. My Question is that there is any possibility for me to get the offer from aramco? If I failed my interview, did they still need to receive my certificate of graduation additional ? I want to believe that they are going to make something good for me, so they needed more information about me.
Does anyone have similar experience like me? If does, what was the result?
