Saudi Arabia based Applicant

[Feeshee]

Hello Everyone.

Has anyone submitted their passport and other required documents to the Embassy in Abu Dhabi directly? or did they go through the VFS centers?
Any idea about how long it takes for the visa stamping on the passport?

I couldn't travel to Riyadh for this. And the travelling cost itself was making the trip[ unfeasible.

Anyway I did not like Dar Al Afia's service at all. Both my husband and I were told our BP's very high even though we had our yearly medical a month before. I asked the nurse to check again and do it manually (on mercury apparatus and not use the automated machine reading). He refused at first saying we can't do that, we need to put automated readings. But then after my insistence he did my husband's again & his readings were 130/85 (which is still high - I am sure he was infuriated on the nurse which is why). For me, he said he can't do anything & put in the readings of 140/111 (which again is not possible). I went ahead and talked to the doctor to do it again for me. He said he will not share my reading with me anymore & scribbled in the file only.

We were worried sick for a week and then we passed our medical right away.

======================================================================
Travelling Cost from Dammam to Riyadh was nothing i.e. 100 SAR including luch ! We went by our car in the morning 6:00 am from Dammam and reached to Riyadh approx. @ 11:00 am. Our appointment was 12:00 noon and reached back to Dammam @ 7:00 pm.

The service at Al Warood medical center was v good and smooth.

But don't worry , HBP is not a valid reason to refuse your PPR.

Best of luck !!

Hello every one

Dear All whether we need to submit the Saudi GOSI Employment History report to Embassy for experience verification or just the experience letters are enough. How they will assess and verify the experience here in Saudi Arabia.

It will be much easier and faster to get immigration if you apply from Saudi as compared to India or any other Asian country.

HI Qureishi
I hope you are fine sir.
I have heard it from different people that Canadian immigration would be easier and fast if applied from KSA as compared to Asian countries.

I am based in Riyadh, working as accountant.
I am interested in knowing whether this is true. What is the reason behind that and how does it impact visa application.?

Thanks in advance
