Look in yesterdays GDN, Free visa is illegal and there is going to be a huge clamp down on it. Transferring a visa is easy, just speak to her current sponsor and go to LMRA and fill out the forms. Your company will more than likely have to sign a NOC too. If you work in Saudi it's more difficult (depending on the company you work for)
