I came to KSA on labor iqama as it was cheaper to purchase and as mentioned by my employer they would change it once i arrive, buts its been 1.5 years and my iqama still hasn't been updated, My real profession is Computer engineering as per my Bachelor's/Degree and on my Qiwa its my position is Project engineer and under specialty its mentioned Software Engineer which is fine but my profession is Labor, as per my employer the issue is with saudiazation for lack of saudi engineers in the company.

What should i do in this case?

My salary and benefits are that of an engineer already no issues but i need my profession to be changed.
