Bro im not sure about it, nor can anyone be i guess. The only authentic info about how the consulate operates can be only be given by a person who works there. Agents may tell you 100 stories which may all be false.
So lets hope what u r saying is true and embassy stamps all the pending ones before collecting new passports
will they stamp pending passports first and then after one week they will collect new passport.. because the main reason to stop the collect of passport due to workload so its mean they will stamp first pending and then newer's collect....
whats ur opinion not confirm but ur opinion about it...
if any body knows so reply must.. about his opinion...
Please make a complain on the following link so that it can be heard:
http://www.mofa.gov.sa/sites/mofaen/Mai … dback.aspx
Guys embassy took 1or maximum 2 days for stamping visa ...late procejors and all that bullshits due to those bastards Agencies United or other agents cuz in Pakistan where ever Agents are sitting they send our visas applications to these agencies cuz they are not authorise to send directly to embassy..so the Villian of in this sitaution Is United agency ...

Normally 1-5 working days.. Has your status been changed to Request under working?
Looks like now a days getting Saudi Arabia visa is not less than getting visa of USA. I believed the problem is agency between embassy and agents. They will randomly select the passport and send to embassy who's passport get out this visa pool get visa quickly. I have seen visa chart people who applied in Feb and Jan is that you applied for first time for KSA or you had previous visa stamps in your passport.
I seen some other guys who submitted application in Karachi Consulate 19th and stamped there visa 2nd week of March interesting things are happening i applied today let see how long mine will take.
Stay tune!

Also, its poepa where most of our passports were piled up and not forwarded to the consulate. Agents just tell us stories that the passports are in consulate, however in real our passports are lying in poepa. If a passport is sent to the consulate, it gets processed within a week, there is no delay in consulate. All the delay is in poepa
So the agents do not directly deal with the saudi consulate, its poepa which acts as a middleman for all the agents and saudi consulate
would you please reconfirm that .because we got new here in forum that embassy or PEOPA stop receving passport for a Week
??
KARACHI: I would like to bring to attention of the quarters concerned the inordinate delay in the stamping of work visas at the Saudi Arabian consulate in Karachi. According to travel agents, this is due to a huge backlog of passports which has accumulated there in previous months with the reason for this remaining unknown.
The normal processing time for work visa stamping used to be five to seven days till 2014. However, since January 2015, the consulate is taking an average of two months to stamp a work visa. This is causing serious problems to applicants who have job offers from Saudi Arabia since their employers are often not ready to wait that long for the visa stamping of their would-be employees. Many companies end up taking back their job offers. Moreover, there is no way the progress of an application can be tracked. An applicant having submitted his or her passport through an authorised person cannot track the progress, status and location of his passport. In addition, applicants are not allowed to contact or approach the consulate directly, and only authorised agents can submit the passports and collect them.
The Saudi consulate is clearly working in a haphazard manner. The media needs to raise this issue since applicants for jobs in Saudi Arabia are helpless, with no one there to hear their concern and many are losing their job offers as a result of the delay and inefficiency of the Saudi consulate personnel in Karachi.

Yes the embassy stopped taking passports last week, however today it took 4000 passports from poepa.
So they wont take further passports for a week atleast until they process these 4000 passports.
As per my understanding, the consulate is now taking large number of passports after every 5-10 days instead of the previous practice of taking small numbers daily. This will ensure that there are no old cases being stuck inside peopa due to huge volumes.
Taking small number daily was leading to some old cases being ignored and being stuck inside poepa for long time.
I hope my understanding and conclusion is true!
