Please read the links in ArabNews – It looks like companies have access to change profession with internet and there is no need to attest all those documents mentioned in your blog
http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article541236.ece
and
http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article560984.ece
both have conflicts in deadline date.

Salam Yasir;
Kindly guide, I heard that you have to wait for 6 months after your profession change to bring your family in KSA. Is this true? kindly guide what is the rule?
one blogger in some forum posted that as per new law even after change of your profession, you cannot bring your family untill 6 months. kindly guide.
Imran

I have recently change my profession to Cost Accountant on Iqama and would like to bring my family from Pakistan. My Iqama issued from Dammam city and I lived in Jeddah City. I have a B.Com degree, pls note that no as such attestation is done on my degree.
I have sent my B.Com degree, Marraige certificate and B.Form to Pakistan, Pls let me know which document from which body need to be attested in order to get family visa.
thanks & regards,
B Com Degree 1- from higher Education Commision, 2- Foreign Office and Marriage Cenrtificate also attested from Foregn office. and if you have company letter for degree attestation then also done it from saudi cultural office and saudi embassy too. if this not done then u pay the agent here in saudia for visa and no need to attest the degree. any other query ask me azam126@hotmail.com
as per your reply,engineering visa /technical visa are same. Means,what I have understood from your reply that in both cases I can bring my family to saudi arabia even if I have technical visa without converting it into engineering visa,Is it true?
Have understood? I am traveling on BUILDING TECNICIAN VISA. Now tell me can I bring my wife to saudi arabia,without changing IQMA or any other papers /documents?

Hello
One of my relatives has come to KSA on Project Engineer Visa, problem is that he is MSc and by chance they have given him a PE visa. Now he has to make his iqama but cannot put an application to Saudi Council of Engineering. Can you help in this regard?
As he is experienced person and got engineer visa so i can help him to get B-Tech Degree on his experience base, These documents can also submit in Saudi Engineering council for Engineer visa. Already i helped one guy,he is in Jeddah now and got cleard from all departments in saudia and he is working there now. alhmduLILLAH.
