Hi All,
I've been reading though this forum for months, and I'm so grateful for each and every piece of information each of you have provided.
I wasn't sure about registering @ expatblog, since the decision had not been made whether we're becoming a family of expats or not. But it's official now, and here I am!
My husband accepted a job offer in Riyadh, and should be starting his new job in January 2011. I'm sure you all know how it is the few weeks or even months preceding such big move.
Ever since we considered this move, we've been trying to find out how long it'll be before the kids and I can join my husband in Riyadh. I understand that he has to use his visa to enter KSA, then get his resident visa before he can apply for visas for us, but how long will this process take? We've asked his employer, friends in Saudi and even the KSA embassy in DC, but no one seems to have an answer. I thought, maybe someone out there had a recent experience with this matter and can put our minds at ease.
