Yes, you can get your things stamped at the US Embassy in Riyadh. Only problem is it's Like 30.00 US per page. So the downside is it's more expensive. The plus side is you get them back with in 24hrs. So quick turn around.

Ok, I got a call from the SRCA this morning. You can get your documents stamped here in the US, by the Saudi Consulate. It just takes time, I.E sending off your paperwork to DC etc. Or they will fly you over, and they will send you to the US consulate in Riyadh. The plus side is in Riyadh, it...

Anyone who has gone through the process. Did you have to get your certificates of employment, high school diploma, paramedic diploma and paramedic transcripts stamped by the Saudi Embassy. The Saudi Health Council requires the documentations to be stamped by the Saudi Embassy. The Saudi...

Hey NW, good to see another Oregon Medic on here. I just completed all the paperwork. My Visa was approved and I should hopefully have it in my position by next Wed or Thursday. It took sometime for my Visa to process because of the degree were required to have here in Oregon (And the crazy snow...

Wow that would be news to me. I just got an e-mail back from them yesterday saying: "Congratulations on having your Visa approved. Please provide us with your location and nearest airport to your city in order to make travel arrangements and get you the airline tickets. We would like to ask you...

This might seem like a silly question, but to everyone over there, whats the power situation like? Do you have standard US plug in's? Are you guys using some kind of adapter? If so what kind? And how many would you recommend bringing? Are you having any issues charging your Laptop or I-phones...

I'm going through SRCA, it's been a long process. The guys with Action are getting over in like 2 months. So far it's been almost a four month process for me. But our contracts are for a full year. So I just hope it all works out soon. It probably will.

Well I got news on my visa today. Everything is a go, except my degree. Their having a problem with it from some reason. I sent them a copy of my degree, a signed, embossed, degree verification letter, on school letter head from the registers office,with info on how to contact him and my sealed...

I was wondering the same thing. The contract I got said you were paid your relocation allowance. Which is equal to one months salary upon your arrival. If you don't mind me asking? How are you doing for cash? I'm only going to be able to bring $400.00 American with me when I come over. Thats...

How far along is everyone else? Anyone else ready to send off there packet yet? If so maybe we can coordinate flying over together. If you haven't sent off your packet yet, what is everyone waiting for? For me it was my background check, with all the holidays it was really dragging.

Good news everyone, I sent my completed packet to the visa handler in Washington DC. She will receive my packet on Monday Jan 25th. I wonder how long it's going to take to get my work visa? I'm starting to get a little excited.

WTEngel, glad you made it over there safe. I should be right behind you; I’m still waiting for my back ground check to come back from the Oregon State Police. I picked up my physical med form, from my Doc yesterday in triplicate. Total cost by the way was $600.00, and that included the X-rays...

Of course we would give him a ride (disabled or not). It's just that because he's disabled and on the wonderful Oregon health plan. It doesn't cost him a dime to call us. So every beginning of the month he doesn't learn his lesson and keeps drinking energy drinks. Believe me if every time he did...
