Riyadh bound Hey Guys, I'm leaving in about 8 hours. I went throuugh SRCA and it took me since June, so hang in there. Even as long as it took, it's hard to believe that it has finally come around. Oh, and with the degree thing, they already had my college degree, and I still had to get my...

Documentation Travis, I'll see you Thursday in Riyadh. I checked my NYS background letter and it lists well over 1,000 hours of training so I hope I'm ok. I only have copies of the reference letters and fingerprint results as the KSA Embassy didn't send them back, I mentioned this to...

Travis in Saudi Travis, I got my airline ticket for 27 Jan. I asked for a couple of more days as a party was planned for me on the 30th, but if I have to go on that day I will. I found your packing list invaluable. Looking forward to meeting you at the end of the month. Danbo

HS Diploma Travis, Your plan sounds good. Fortunately I have a couple of extra weeks than you so I think I can get the transcripts, still doesn't look good for the diploma though. I also have my work visa, so I think I'll follow your plan if I need to and it works out for you. Again...

HS Diploma Travis, I just got the HS news too. I graduated HS in 1966 in a school that has since been torn down. I am in the process of trying to get the transcripts, but who know how long that will take. I have already had my college degree certified by the consulate so it seems kind...
