Hello,

I need a help please. My husband received his Iqama card last week and he put an application for me and little one to join him. He applied it the same time as his work colleague who has been approved 2 days ago. They applied last week on Thursday. But somehow my husband鈥檚 application hasn鈥檛 been approved until now. Anyone knows why? And how long are we expecting it to be approved as I don鈥檛 want to be stuck in the U.K. any longer and hoping I鈥檒l get there before Christmas.

Family visa takes times for processing.聽 Since only last week get and your priority to join him before Christmas then best solution is apply visit visa for 90 days and it is get through system with in 2-3 days after sponsor attested chamber of commerce and that also can be done through system therefore it not takes much times. All above procedure done by your husband.

After 2-3 days check the system again and send screenshot of those to you by your husband and you can apply saudi embassy at UK and get stamped through travel agent and come.

Once you arrive here it was easy for you to transfer your visit visa to residence visa after paying fee SAR 2,000 and levy for minimum one year cost each month SAR 400

All the procedures need HR department of your husband companies for attestation.

Hi,

Thank you for your advice but visit visa is suspended because of Covid. And I was wondering why his work colleague got an approved within a few days and they made the application exactly the same time. We don鈥檛 put for anything. His work is paying for it. We were told it should only takes 2 days. And it鈥檚 true for everyone else but somehow ours still pending approval.

Help please... my husband accidentally cancelled the family residence visa invitation application online. Is there any way to reinstate it? And how difficult it would be to do this?
