Hi,nats said:reyzki, Middle east visa office is in Abu dhabi, processing time is 27 months. Most companies in Saudi keep their employees passport, so I dont think she can give her passport to the embassy once they requested it.
Your wife's best option is to repatriate and wait while her application is being processed. Normal processing time in CEM is 10 months, but most of the forumers here got their visa in 4th or 5th month.
I also sponsored my wife when she was still in Saudi. Ang gawin mo pakuhanin mo n sya ng PCC sa Saudi. The certificate must have been issued no more than three months before you submit your application. If the original certificate is neither in English nor in French, submit both the certificate and the original copy of a translation prepared by an accredited translator with your application or else they will request you to obtain another PCC. My wife was still in Saudi when I submitted the application to sponsor her then she just went home when the CEM requested for her PP for the reason that the employer won’t give your PP if you are still staying in Saudi. That’s the best way you can do. My wife’s application only took her 3 months to get her VISA.
