Permanent family Visa not Stamping for last 3 weeks

It is never returned for no reason.   Get a better agent who can tell you what is needed for the stamping to be done.

I think maybe due to Hajj season. Last time they (Saudi Embassy) hold my working visa until eid end, then only the embassy gave the stamp. Try to check back after Eid Hajj (after 15 august).

Thanks XTang.  Yeah I checked out from few other agents and got to know that i need to send the original marriage certificate from Saudi as my wife's passport hasn't got my name added as spouse. Let's see 🤞

I heard this but i am hoping that they might stamp this coming week.  If that's the case then I guess I will have to wait for 4 more weeks.

Hi Imran, Please update on any progress.  I too  have to submit for stamping sometime next week to new delhi...so would like to know your status..
Bdw, what all documents did you submit to the embassy ?? And how long did it take to get the MOFA number after you got the yellow slip from istiqdam? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I submitted my iqama and passport copy, her original passport, marriage certificate copy, and few photos. But last week I had sent the original marriage certificate as well coz the agent said emabassy isn't stamping as my wife's passport hasn't got my name in husband's name. So could be for that.
Mofa number I think we got after 5-6 working days as I got the yellow slip on 27th last month and she went for medical same day and that was by Saturday 29th our agent had the report but we had to wait till  next week Thursday for Mofa number as the agent said it's gonna take 3-5 working days for that visa to be updated in the system. Infact I was told the same here in istiqdam office in Riyadh when they gave me that yellow slip that next week yaum Al khamees go to new Delhi embassy ,🙂

Visa update is that am still waiting for stamping. One of my friend has also submitted his family's passports today through Jerry verghese. So let's see if they get it first.

Thank you for the detailed post. I will now submit original marriage certificate as well to avoid any delay. Do update when you get it stamped. Hopefully, you get it very soon.
