I have been offered a ESL post at princess noura university through a recruiting agency. I am awaiting my visa in the next few days.

I would like to have my 20 month old daughter and Father accompany me.

How long would this take and what documentation do i need for them.

For sure you can't bring your father with you, no matter what they say. The embassy will never, ever agree. You can't even really sponsor a relative for a visit, let alone bring one with you. Many teachers with master's degrees have been trying to bring their husbands for 2 years and can't do it.

The embassies stopped allowing teachers to bring people ages ago, but PNU doesn't realize this. So PNU keeps promising you can bring your family. There's a severe teacher shortage because of all the problems and because they fire teachers so easily, so they're anxious to promise whatever to get people come.

Things are really hard for teachers at princess nora right now. You might want to read up on the details before making a decision. Just do a search for PNU.

Kuwait is hiring too and their working conditions are better. Saudi's hard no matter where you end up.

Good luck to you!
