Please help!
Im from Sri Lanka and my wife is from Philippines. My profession in my iqama says Building Technician. I've been trying to apply for family visa but they keep on rejecting my application saying its complicated because me and my wife are different nationalities! Even with the marriage certificate duly attested by the foreign ministry and saudi embassy in Sri Lanka.
Can anyone please help me on this. What else should i do to get my family down?

Hi bro.
I think the problem is with the profession on your IQAMA, i heard they dont allow family visa to technicians now a days. I would suggest that you go for visit visa, which is for 3 months and could be renewed as a total stay of about 9 months.
