Change profession from Executive Secretary to applicable job title
@XTang my performing job is not saudized, i'm a computer programmer also already have SCE membership, but my iqama is Data Entry, my company have been trying to change it but no luck. they just keep saying wait. but how it's been how many weeks still not changed, is there a way i can do without having to tell my hr to keep checking it. will they entertain me if i go to ministry of labour without my hr, she is too young i don't trust if she could do the job. i really need help guys. also another question if i change my sponsor to my father, is it possible if my company can rehire me with correct profession. or it will still be the same data entry?

@nagul12345according to my understanding if company online portals are working than we can stay up to iqama expiry otherwise company will itself force us to leave on final exit.- @umer arshadcompany want me to stay and company will support me in any way possible, but at the same time company also afraid of, to be impose a heavy amount of fine.- @hasanibmYou can stay till Iqama expiry but yes, there is a risk of fines in case of labor inspections.- @XTang
@XTang i'm planning to leave my company and transfer to another company. I have a friend who works as System analyst who just transferred last month his previous iqama profession is secretary, when he transferred to the new company it's still the same profession still show secretary. that's why i'm affraid to transfer, i'm thinking if i should transfer back to my father as he was my first kafala, then transfer to the new company i'm applying to, but i am worried if they hire me it will still show data entry instead of computer programmer. i don't want to waste a lot f money. do you think if i transfer back to my father then transfer to the new company they can correct my iqama profession?
@hassan9048 Pls. advise how you did that can you guide me too .I can call you personally to discuss
Qiwa update their portal and I checked today, its showing I am eligible to change the profession. but whenever i choose a profession to change it shows below errors." The current Occupation is not in this cycle" or " The current Occupation is not in this cycle, No Jobs Eligible"Â Âwhat i can understand is, we have to choose the correct profession that falls under the category of the company activity and maybe need to match some other criteria.ÂANY ADVICE?- @hasanibm
Do it manually. As I mentioned on another post, QIWA profession change is a bit of a hit and miss.- @XTang
@hasanibm then what happen after they closed the ticket? you able to change the profession in QIWA?
@rafayjaami this is also what I heard.

if its true than for the people with 3rd time transfer or more will have to count 6000 + 6000 =12000 riyal..I have heard that we can only do with first get transferred to some company with 4-5 people and get profession change there then again come back to your company. I don't know how much is this true- @rafayjaami
@rafayjaami I guess this is what my boss was telling me last week. That he will spend for my change of profession.
@rafayjaami It's like, if your company values you, they will transfer you then they'll get you back at their own expense. I heard it'll be manually.
@hassan9048 Hi Pls may i know which profession you choose to change
@hasanibm yes please may Allah give you success. If it is done in my company I will share with you all the process. Yesterday in one group someone shared one agent WhatsApp who said he can do if you people want I can share his WhatsApp but I don't know how far he is genuine.
@hasanibm I appreciate your support and same thing will be from my side also if any solution works with me.
@hasanibm Please advise what requirement you submitted for manual process on changing your profession.
That's it,
@hasanibm ok now it is clear, can you tell us the contact in HRDF as you mentioned for follow up
