Student Iqama dependent on fathers renewal
Salaam, ur kafeel is ur father now, ur iqama will renew with him and i think its not possible to get transfer within 10 days, u know how works happen here, u should consult to private offices for renewel of iqama
@DrHassanMalik go with your father to Ministry of Interior and approach the officer their and explain him the situation , they will give you solution how to get the extend letter till your iqama is renewed.. Hurry hurry 
you didnt think of this until just now when your iqama is about to expire?!?!
Biggest tip you will ever get: get a letter from your "university" that you are still a student and since youre still a student they will renew your dad's iqama with yours!
you could stick around just dont get caught! mind you, if you go to take the test with an expired iqama, they wont let you sit! and will probably report you as an "over-stayer"
man i should charge people for this kind of advise!!
@borntobemild
lol thanz all for da tips bu first thing i did get leter frm university but since its nt atsted its not worth ! and cant make it atsted too coz its my final year already ended and uni wont give leter no more ! and yes m wilin tp pay tp pvt ofices but no one is takin money even dese days and make it renewed as dey say things r realy badly tightened up for last 3 months ! and as far as goin to ministry is concernd, i kno da only option dey wil put up front is final exit 
and yup m had been tryin dis renewal for last3months but nuthin fruitful hapened yet ! da only hope was to do it from sum agent but even dey r hapless dese days . .
as far as exam is concerned da proof of identity to be used dere cud even be my drivin license or pasport ! so dat aint no issue..
i heard once under proces, even if ur iqama gets expired u dun need to be woried ! even if it takes 8 months u wont have no penalty etc dun kno its true or not.. is dere any website in english from where we can check iqama status and da bills v submit for it for monitoring !?!!
Assalam O Alaikum.
I am also in the same situation now and i guess u have passed through this tough time already and its now august and u posted this post on january , u must have solution for this now.. i am also doctor and under the same situation but only positive thing is i have passed my SLE and have the card but problem is i cant transfer my iqama to any clinic or hosp right now because as a gp i cant get job in good hospitals plus if i go to any random sponsor my visa will be LABOUR which will not be transferrable to doctor.
PLS HELP. IF ANYONE GOT ANY FURTHER IDEAS
