  1. If it is legitimate, your Saudi employer (sponsor) must agree to, and provide the necessary paperwork for, any eligible family members - the marriage must be legally documented.


  2. to a 13 Nov 2006 article in the Khaleej Times, Abu Dhabi residents could sponsor family members for a 1 year residency visa if a 5000 dhs deposit was made to the Naturalisation and Residency Department in Abu Dhabi. Apparently including residents earning less than 4000 dhs a month (normally the minimum for sponsoring a family member on a visit visa if resident without employer accommodation).

    But then according to an article on 22 Nov 2006 from the Khaleej Times, residents needed a minimum monthly salary of 2500 dhs with accommodation, or 3200 dhs without, to sponsor their immediate family members (and the 5000 dhs deposit). For wife and children, two year visas are issued. For parents, brothers, or sisters, one year visas are issued. For residents with Investor Visas, the deposit required is 20,000 dhs (reduced from 70,000 dhs) for family member sponsorship, and they only get one year visas. It's not clear if wives can sponsor husbands. It's also not clear if these rules apply in emirates other than Abu Dhabi. As of 22 Nov 2006, government.ae and dubai.ae do not have information clarifying the articles in the press.

    If you are coming to the United States on a workers visa, you have to apply at the US embassy in KSA, and get sponsored by your company. I have never used this, so the website can help you better than me.

    "Visas for Family Members: Spouses and/or children under the age of 21 can receive L-2 visas to accompany the employee to the U.S. The application procedure is the same; the I-797A or B covers dependents. If your family members apply after the visa has been issued, they will need to (have a copy of the primary applicant's visa) included with their application. Spouses and/or children who do not intend to reside in the United States with the principal visa holder, but visit for vacations only, may be eligible to apply for visitor (B-2) visas, or if qualified, travel visa free under the Visa Waiver Program .

    There is no requirement that the spouse and/or children of an L-1 visa holder apply for a student (F-1) visa if they wish to study in the U.S.; they may study on an L-2 visa. However, if they are qualified, they may apply for the F-1 visa. If you have school age children, you should refer to the regulations governing the issuance of F-1 visas.

    Spouses may seek employment authorization on derivative L-2 visas. For further information, please contact the USCIS upon your arrival in the U.S."
