Did you receive the visa invitation letter?

It depends on your profession. If you are offered for a technical positions (e.g. Engg, Docotor etc), In this case Your technical degree must be attested by respected govt. bodies from your home country for visa stamping.  If your degree certificates are attested by the respected govt. bodies(e.g. HRD, MEA, SAUDI Culture & Attested by the Saudi Embassy) and you have done the required medical test for visa then it will take 1-2 weeks time to stamp your visa or else its a time taking procedure(may take 2-3months also in some cases.)

Good Luck
