Delays in Fresh Visa issuing! (Riyadh)

Hi Folks,

I have been awaiting to hear from my employer for business visit visa. Though he has confirmed my offer but due to some reasons I am yet to receive my business visit visa so far. I am told the reasons are the new law reforms with regards to Saudization, that is taking whole lots of time...

Anyone of you would have any clue whats happening there? Is it general time frame to get a business visa out?

all your help appreciated,
regards,
