Hi
We are applying for permanent family visa, have an adopted daughter , have her birth certificate all attested and translated but my hubby says he was told they could refuse us our visa as he has heard it happening before to a family?
Surely not? We adopted her 14 yrs ago and I find it hard to believe that there are no other expat families over here with adopted children!
I'm now worried ... Does anyone know?

We got a family visa n we have a step son, it took a while longer, nearly 3 months in total , so you should definitely be able to get a visa for your adopted daughter 😀😀

The delay was because our paperwork had to go to Riyadh , to there version of child protection , as my son has a different surname to me n my husband. You may not have this problem , it took 3 weeks for this to complete and then we got the yellow slip

May I know what kind of formalities have to be fulfill. I am already in KSA and now wanted to call my family but I have a same case. Can you guide me to start the procedure?

I believe the original poster left the country as they were never allowed to get the adopted daughter an iqama.
