Hi Mr.Arun

I sent my no to your mail box.

Hi...I received a draft contact from a governmental organisation in Oman...papers submitted to security clearance (civil service as far as I recall from what HR said) but because it is special job, it requires the approval from ministers cabinet. I was told it will take a month and half or two but papers were sent in the beginning of June by employer, then later in june I was asked to fill a form in 2 copies then by end of June, they asked me to send some details relevant to my cv and experience. Is that LC or PCC or something else called security clearance as told? .I am still waiting since I resigned from my job in Oman in June ...please advise.  Regards

Hi HHassan,

I am not sure of any such "special job".

If the job is as important as you are saying, and one that requires approvals from higher ups, then it should happen without any delay.

Without getting an employment visa in hand, it is ill advised to resign from the current job. Simple because, no one can say when the new job's employment visa would be issued. It is really uncertain. And no one can predict it.

So if you resigned in June, how are you still in Oman - if you are still here that is.
