Brother my family visa stamping takes 10 days total including courier shipping.
normally it takes 3 to 5 working days but due to rush of umra and visit visas on embassy they take time.

So its mean delay only in work visa process not in family visa & visit visa..?

Yes recently they are asking for it, according to them its a new requirement from saudi embassy/consulate. I think if so they should produce the notification paper rather than verbally. I believe etimad staff in Pakistan is cheating us and giving police dept their share.... obviously police would ask for money.
