After clearing the interview they are giving the Offer letter and within same week medical so there is no chance for not selected.
But as they are talking so much time, so what does it mean?
Are they checking our patience or they do not have proper mobilization plan in place. ?

Aravind.. Don't think this delay is deleberate..it seems it's even out of PDO control.. One could argue that  company should obtain govt approval for a position before they hire ... But here the process is other way around ...

Hi Melezin,

How long you are waiting for LC & Visa?
Wjen did you got selected?
Do not get distressesd ,anyway we have to wait.

melzein

Interviewed in may, got offer on August, documents submitted to LC on October.
I am just worried if it's not done before new school academic year begins. Then it will be complicated. :(

skibby

You nailed it! Over 7 months for me.

Okpv

Melzein..yes .. School admission is the key issue.... If LC not obtained this month , probably we can expect only in August as Ramadan  starts in middle of June ....guess things will be very slow during Ramadan ...

Babajan

Dear all,

Sorry for late post. I received visa on 6th may. But there was a small mistake. My passport issue year was printed as 2014 instead of 2015. It needs to be corrected. Can anyone give me advice regarding this? How many days does it require to be corrected?

Thank you.

Hi melzein
i think you forget saturday?

Rachid3

Arvindan
for me i got the offer in the same days after interview even i pass the doctor and give the fit, they ask me to do some medical in dubai outside because they say that we need you ASAP,  pdo they ask me please do go to other empoyer while the interview and because i worked for pdo before and i know shell/pdo procedure, i do not think they will replace me to other, maybe is not good planification! Or maybe they haven't accommodation for family!
i think we need to wait because maybe just last month they apply for our LC.

Regards

melzein

End of "expecting day"  :cheers:
Already disappointed

Okpv

Haha ... Me too ...but there is a little hope.. As per Sora agent , we can expect some good news this week ...

Rachid3

I don't know if we need more than 6 months in our passports to get visa or no, because for my kids all passports expired on november 24th

melzein

I think you better inform HR once LC is obtained and before submitting documents for visa

Sora08061981

Rachid..yes minimum 6 months

Rachid3

Yes, they ask me to renewal the passports, again problems, the passports take around 2 months.
but no response from them regarding the LC, they response only to the question on the passports issues

Sora08061981

@Rachid,

They seem to be quite again about the LC and visa. But at least we know they can read our mails as they have replied to your query.

Sora08061981

any good / bad news or update anyone?

Okpv

Sora..Nothing.. Was expecting based on ur last response .. Did u hear anything from agent this week ??

Sora08061981

nothing man..situation is getting frustrating really.

melzein

It's the day that I make assumptions,
For this week I am assuming no more approvals to be granted until an agreed number of Omani employments is reached, which is not going to happen soon as they have to do training first. :/
Is that positive or negative assumption?

Okpv

Sora... Yea.. This is really frustrating.. Losing my interest .... Will share if I hear anything ...

Sora08061981

@Maz,

Man are you good to go this June?

Rachid3

Hi All
i recieved this mail below 30 mn before, maybe some hope.

Please accept our sincere apology for the delay in obtaining your LC due to reasons beyond our control (government approval). However, I would like to confirm that your LC application has been submitted to the authorities and yet to be obtained, we anticipate the process to be much faster than before since we've recently obtained a step out for our submissions. At this stage we unfortunately still unable to provide you with a timeline. Again, we appreciate your patience, we'll keep you posted on the progress upon receiving an update.

Okpv

Rachid,
I too  recived exact the same email on 30 th April
...

As u said,, there is some hope ... Let's wait and see

Hi muddukrishna4u,

'Visa is ready for collection' means that the visa is ready for collection.

So the sponsor has to collect the visa and pass it on to the employee.

If the visa is ready for collection then there should be no furthers delay.

muddukrishna4u

Thank you sir,  Company HR only updated me the status.

regards,
Krishna.

muddukrishna4u

Hi All,
   Finally, after long wait my visa is ready for collection.
Regards,
Krishna

Okpv

Sora..
Did u get any further info from ur agent/PDO ?

I tried, but no response recieved from PDO this week ...

Sora08061981

Okpv,

None man. I sent them an email, but no response. Another week of waiting is finished. By next month it will be more slower as it is Ramadan so maybe we can get something by July or August (guessing).

Okpv

Sora ..
Since ur agent got a positive response last week , I would expect to hear some good news before the start of Ramadan ... We can only hope for the best ....

Sora08061981

its Thursday..its depressed mode again.

I remain hopeful for the weeks to come.  I hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

skibby

Sunday is a holiday, so earliest word will be Monday.

I did hear the head of First Impressions has been out this week and is going to MoM next week. Hopefully to pickup a stack of LCs. Of course, all taken with a grain of salt like everything else we hear. :)

Okpv

Arvindan

Okpv

Okpv

Aravindan,  not sure if it's the time to congratulate as I have not recieved yet in my hand... Indeed this is a good news for all of us who r waiting for LC...

By the way.. My docs were submitted in dec 2014 to PDO  for LC ...

Arvindan

Okpv
