visa issuing process is technically much easier compared to 3 years back, provided the company hiring you is in a platinum category, which means they have good number of saudi employees. in the mean time, are you sure that you have been employed by STC or through any of their contractors. lots of new levy now on expat employees, and companies are now forced to employ more saudi's.

the best way to get any update will be to get in touch with the HR department of the company that offered you the job.
