N.B. Although you may have provided ALL of this information to the employer in Saudi. The embassy is NOT in touch with the employer. They only see the documents in front of them. Once Our Agent collects all of the above items she will hand deliver them to the Saudi Educational/Cultural Mission. An official at the Mission then verifies your educational credentials which is an important item required for the work visa. Once the documents are verified she will collect them and then include them in the visa application package. The visa section of the embassy is in a separate building from the Mission.
