i am so sick and tired of checking the visa status everyday . It does'nt change at all . Its been 15 days after the activation by chamber of chamber . Can anyone please tell me , if its gonna work ? Should i give it to an agent ?

just wait now days very slow processing umra season also started don't go for any agent specially for visit visa they do nothing except chamber they also wait like your waiting when they get visa visa they charge too much money

If you are a governmental servant then you dont need to submit in commerce. Sign your application from your boss and submit it directly to ministry of foreign affairs along with your Iqama copy and original letter of salary details. Best of luck

My status  also not changed from20th November
last status changed on November 20th it says ratification of the request

You have to go to stikdam office - Ministry of interior and Not ministry of commerce with all applications and supporting documents..

Does your company have a Government Relations officer or office? I would start there. If you do not have one contact the consulate for your country and let them guide you through the process,

Hi,

I just applied for one yesterday through an agency that handles all the government documents and application for my employer.  I was told that they are very backed up with applications and to expect a delay.

That is not an uncommon response. I have found that when I just periodically 'cordially check' with a smile even though I want to grimace at how long it is taking, I get results. Things take a long, long, time here. Remember the floods in Riyadh a few years ago? As I understand it the sewage drainage problem has not been fixed yet.

Be diligent and maybe remind them that on the other end maybe the family may have a deadline to be out of their present living situation so the need for the visa is eminent.

Hope this helps.

Dear all, is any one help me  about my family visa status,
"The ratification of the request"

in my company they are saying it is approved

and i would like to what is the next step

Go to Visa Validity dot com and click on English them enter two of the requested documents. It will tell you there.

That is the link

what does the below message mean ? This appeared after 16 days of attestation by chamber of commerce

  ''The ratification of the request: (8722286) on 11.17.2014 (Jeddah Chamber) ''

that means your chambere done on that date from jeddah  now you have to wait for mofa update they will update your status soon now days very slow so just keep checking for update

Its 18 days already.. n m so sick n tired of waiting now .

Chamber of commerce keep the visit visa application form with them and didn't return.
They said just go and check online.

Is this a case for every one who recently applies for visit visa?

no they should not keep that form they just make stamp and they give return that form need to show in mofa when they called for verification mofa will keep the form not chamber

is there any way to fasten the procedure of getting the visa ? 19 days and counting after the chamber of commerce attestation. Any idea what do i do ?

Hello , can anyone tell me when will the status change after submitting the documents for review to ministry of foreign affairs in jeddah ?

First of all I think you had submitted your document to a wrong place. Chamber of commerce never keep your document. They only check the signature of your sponsor and if it is coinciding with sponsors signature and chamber registration number you will receive the document same time or they will reject and return to you. So all your message is confusing. Chamber of commerce and Ministry of commerce nothing to do with your VISA processing. This is only Ministry of Interior , ministry of Foreign affairs and Passport office  who are involved in the processing of family visa / visit visa etc provided you are submitting the hard copies. Chamber of commerce is only verifying your company letter and nothing else. So approach general service office for guidance.

Hi can anybody tell me if I need to take 2 way or one way ticket for family visit visa?
