..Children on Father's Iqama with Mother living back home..

I have got a job in Saudi Arabia on family status and will be applying for the employment visa next month. I have recently come to know that hepatitis carriers are not allowed to get residence visas not even on the sponsorship of their husbands. My wife had Hepatitis C many years back but now has been fully cured. But her blood tests show that she has the antibodies in her blood. I have heard that authorities donot consider such cases even knowing the fact that they are not virus carriers. Please advise about the possibilities that she some hows can get the residence visa on my sponsorship.

Secondly, I have four kids, two school going. Supposedly my wife does not get the residence visa, is it possible that I get my school going kids the visa on my sponsorship and they start going to school in Saudi. In the meantime my wife may stay in Saudi on visit visa which we may extend on as and when required basis.

Please advise.

Must not be a problem if kids have their own passports.

Stay on visit visas can be extended to 9 months long max.
