As salam alikum.
i arrived in saudi arabia about a month back on a house driver visa.
i have yet to get my iqama, everytime i ask the agent what is going on, he tells me some story.
the latest was that there are no iqama cards available.
is there a way i can find out if my iqama has been made and if it has, how can i find out the details of my iqama so i can submit it to the company that is willing to hire me.
i have been given to understand that only during the amnesty period i can transfer my iqama(of a house driver) to another company and change my profession.
I am an Indian and i am an engineer. i understand that procedure dictates that you should have your degree attested by the Saudi embassy in India. however that procedure will take too long.
i could not get it done prior to coming here because in order to get the HRD stamp i am required to have an offer letter which i do not have.
i have heard that u can get transferred to engineering visa during the amnesty period without having to show attested original but would have to produce them at a later time. if this is true it would be my best option. is it possible to get this done ? if not, what would be my alternative since i need to transfer before the end of the amnesty period.
Please guide me.
Regards
Fuzail
