I am new in the forum.

I am a Bangladeshi citizen considering a white collar job in Riyadh.The pay is good(over 4000 dollars with furnished accommodation provided). I have received my visa number but my family's residency visa have been turned down.

The suggestion from my office is to arrive in Riyadh, get my own residency sorted and then apply again.

A little bird told me that it's really important to have the correct profession in the Iqama and I have been extra careful to make sure it is.I know Bangladeshis who have (and still is) lived in Riyadh with their family and the citizenship has never been an issue.

It's really important for me to have my family(wife and kids )with me.Do I have any reasons to worry? Your advice please O wise ones?

You need to find out the reason for the family visa to be turned down so that you fix that problem before you leave.
