Family visa procedure

If your visa profession mentioned in the Iqama (residence permit) is 'Labor', it is impossible to bring your family to the kingdom. You must first get your profession changed. Two things are required for this - a) How much interested your sponsor is to genuinely help you bring your family and b) How much waasta (clout) he has with the labor department? If your sponsor has enough waasta and he really needs to retain you with his company, then it is easy to get your profession changed, provided of course that you have the relevant qualifications (atleast a relevant degree).
