Hi! Everyone here knows if there are any progress when it comes to waiting for the marriage approval between Saudi man and Non Saudi women? Some says less than 6 months, some only weeks and some says years. Maybe someone here recently have just applied and got an approval please share your experience. Thank you so much

Like many things in Saudi, this cannot be predicted. It is a factor of how much "wasta" you have. As you said, the lucky few with wasta, get it through in weeks whereas others have to wait years.

I have 2 kids with my partner and we're still waiting for our application to go through. It depends on multiple factors: your age, the age of your partner, how long you have been together, whether you have children, and how old they are. Your wife has to be at least 25 and your oldest child has to be 6. It's a long process. Good luck!!
