Assalam u alaikum, I have completed 6 months in saudi Arabia, I came on a free visa and the company from which I bought, has been closed. I have a job ready to take transfer but failed to do so as I don't obtain iqama and I was told that transfer on passport isn't possible.
I have made number of visits to the middle man but he keep on trapping me by saying he will get my iqama done next week. Now I am very much worried because I have to go back india or have to get iqama. I couldn't even approach indian embassy as I was relying on the middleman and was trusting him to the core. Now fingers crossed, I have to get work around on my own. Please I request you people to suggest me something that I could do in order to obtain iqama or get a final exit. I don't want to get banned.

You have to visit the labour office (Ministry of Labor) and ask them for assistance in obtaining the final exit.

I can clearly see that your iqama processing won't be possible, the middle man is just playing around and wasting your time while you've already got illegal now.
