I had applied for a permanent visa for my old ailing mother to the MOI about a couple of months ago.  I received a message from the MOI stating that the application had been received, but unfortunately, theres no update since then......  I dont know what to do....... re-apply or just wait for some more time.....

Well, one of my colleagues (Saudi) helped me get the application through..... but it seems it has encountered some problem/obstacle.  So, wanted to know if anyone else had faced a similar problem.
