I've been working as Nurse at a National Guard hospital since June of this year but I still don't have my IQAMA. I will be going on vacation this December. The people at the Government Relations office keeps on telling me it's in process but cannot say a definite time when it will be released. Those nurses who came July and August already got theirs. Any suggestions what I can do to speed the processing?
IQAMA DELAY!!!

I am sorry to hear about your suffering, unfortunately, i cannot think of anything other than keep pushing for answers and asking every other day about it!!
you can check the status of you are officially registerd with your employer in the following link:

You need to enter your passport number in the 3rd field (رقم الجواز) and your nationality (under جنسية which will be فلبيني) in arabic!
hope this helps..
