Negative @aasif.
To get visa conversion, a fly-out is necessary.

Visas are not converted @ruosa.
The above posts and my replies actually means the following for you.

1- Your husband will apply for you the 'family visa'.
2- Once he gets it, you'll have to go back home to get it stamped on your passport.

He has good.chances if he has a university degree.

That's misinformation. There are no legal ways.

2000/= SAR is the new family visa govt. fee; not for conversion.
