Hi Everyone,
I am new to this site.
I have a job offer in KSA and have been waiting for a work visa since the beginning of January. When I spoke to my recruiter last week, he informed me that there is currently a delay in the processing of visas secondary to the shamoon virus attack.
Does anyone know if this is factual ?
Thanks!

Yes, that's true.
Shammon's targeted "dot sa" websites and organizations. Hundreds of thousands of computers and servers were affected including those of govt. bodies.

I have been told that it is resolved and that processing is back to normal however a significant amount of data has been lost, however as I am in Canada and have yet to receive my visa I can not confirm
