Hi
I am currently working in Pakistan and in process of moving to KSA. My question is that how long does it take to legalize the documents from HEC, SACM and Saudi consulate? I was offered job in May and its almost end of September that my documents are stuck with Saudi Culture. They 1st sent me down the documents with the objection that there was some problem with my name. I provided them undertaking to resolve the name issue but it is still stuck there. Can anyone please help.
Also please define the steps through which papers need to go through
Regards

Dear All...
now n onwards don't trust and involve any agents in Pakistan for atleast Saudi Culture as there are lot of cases of fake stamps and it creates hell of problem ,,, submit your documents in Culture by yourself and use reference, you can involve agent for Embassy attestation.... (for culture 1-2 months, embassy 1-2 weeks if Karachi)
Regards
