i just got my employment visa back from the saudi embassy in DC. i was offered my job in saudi on june 28, 2008, and was sent an official offer letter the same day. then i started the visa process on july 28. meanwhile, my sponsor (the royal commission) processed my visa at the ministry of foreign affairs in saudi and sent me a scanned copy of the official paper from the ministry. i sent everything (my passport, 3 medical forms, background check, verified degree, application form, etc..) to the saudi embassy in DC on august 21. it only took them 2 days to process my application and send my passport back to me with the visa stamp inside. ... it didn't take 60 days at all.

If they specifically apply for a visa for you and get it approved from the MOFA, it would typically take 60 days. Add ramadan timings to that for current processing times :)

[Edit]

I guess it varies from employer to employer. Also varies based on the category of employment. If your employer is anything "royal", it must take less time then :)
