If you are going through SRCA it will take at least 3 weeks if they have everything exactly as they have requested from you..if not you can ad another few weeks..I Sent mine in. in December..I am leaving today..in fact i am sitting at Dulless looking at my Saudi 747 getting ready to board as we speak!
ALSO FYI EVERYONE if you go through DC they will tell you Terminal B and you will walk a real long way to get there...They changed terminals and are at A15 and preCheck at A19...AND there isn't anymore snow here than we had in Michigan! FYI Jeff!!!

Visa
My visa took 10 days total, 7 business days.
Also, make sure you get your originals back when they send the paperwork back to you.

Visa Paperwork
FYI- It's not clear on the paperwork checklist but if your family is coming with you they need visa applications for each person and passports mailed in the packet to the visa handler.
Travis, haven't heard lately, how's it going for you in Riyadh?

Hey great news guys. I got a call from the Visa handler in DC today. The consulate finally approved all my paper work for my degree (I sent my paper work in on Jan 25th) I should have my passport and my paperwork back within the next three days. It was quite a process, but I’m finally done. I’m going over as a ground medic. With an option to fly after they meet me, and verify my degree etc. The company I worked for required you have at least three years of Lead Paramedic experience before you can even start applying for a flight position. Then most people don’t even get hired until their fourth year. I’m starting to get excited, and can’t wait to get my travel dates. I want to know from people how much cash there taking over with them? I’m only going to be able to bring like $600. American and it seems like it takes awhile to start getting paid. How much cash are you guys going through? How much are you spending on food etc. My buddy Schulz should be right behind me.Well take care guys, I’ll post when I get my travel dates.

Take Care
Take care, keep all of us who are waiting informed, I was planning on taking around the same amount as you, so I hope that is enough, I know I was told to get some if not most converted to Saudi Riyals. I know there are quite a few of us still waiting on our Visas.

Have you got your fedex stuff yet?
Saudi Life?
I couldn't help posting this...How many times are you driving down the road and truly see something unique and actually have a camera in your hands to capture it? Well, we didn't actually capture it but did take the photo!!

I should be right behind you Jeff I am just waiting on my fedex package I have everything ready for it when it gets here with the exception of the physical. I am hoping the visa handler will have everything by next week.
How long did it take you to get your visa from the time you turned in your stuff?
